We have an application that is packaged as a debian (.deb) package. The application is deployed on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
We are looking to provide the application on 16.04 when it is released. However, one of the applications's dependencies -- couchdb -- is available as a snap package and not as a debian package.
Is there a way to tell the debian package that it requires a particular snap to be installed?
couchdb
deb package is indeed in both 14.04 and 16.04 (and every release since). Ubuntu 18.04 will be released later this month...and also has acouchdb
deb.
