That's entirely the point of it, surely. You want to convince the packaging system that you have dependency $FOO satisfied, even if you don't. You create an "equivalent" metapackage. As it happens I haven't used it for years, and if I had the need, I'd probably hand-craft a package source, because that's easier to me than figuring out the equivs incantations (which is exactly why I envisaged a better UX). I last looked at it seriously when I wrote game-data-packager, which does something in the same space, in 2006 (I had to look that up). -- Please do not CC me for listmail. 👱🏻 Jonathan Dowland ✎ j...@debian.org 🔗 https://jmtd.net
