The scenario is as follows:
a. Have 2 main deb packages which has number of dependencies
b. Created single Packages file which contains all the information of both deb packages and their dependencies
Structure looks something like this:
test-package-1.0
Depends on: |_ abc-1.2
|_ def-2.0
|_ ghi-5.0 and so on
test-package-2.0
Depends on: |_ abc-1.1
|_ def-1.9
|_ ghi-4.9 and so on
My Packages file contain contents similar to below:
Package: test-package-1.0
Version: 1.0-6
Architecture: [architecture]
Maintainer: Test
Depends: abc (= 1.2), def (=2.0), ghi (=5.0) and so on
Package: test-package-2.0
Version: 1.0-6
Architecture: [architecture]
Maintainer: Test
Depends: abc (= 1.1), def (=1.9), ghi (=4.9) and so on
When I try to run apt-get install test-package-1.0, it installs fine with all required dependencies
BUT, when I try to run apt-get install test-package-2.0, it fails stating
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
test-package-2.0: Depends: abc (=1.1) but 1.2 is to be installed
def (=1.9) but 2.0 is to be installed
ghi (=4.9) but 5.0 is to be installed and so on.
Requirement: When I install test-package-2.0, it should install its dependencies successfully and not show higher version.
TIA
