My guess involves vague memories of there being an issue with versioned Provides: - although I thought that was more "you can't Provides: a specific version", not "a versioned Depends: won't be satisfied by a Provides: from a package with a suitable version number". -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
