This question is aimed at PPA/packages maintainers.
I have a PPA with 2 packages:
- mypackage (currently version 1~ppa1~quantal)
- mypackagelib (currently version 1~ppa1~quantal)
Currently, the control file of mypackage has:
Depends: mypackagelib
I want to update the 2 packages to version '2' (mypackage version 2 and mypackagelib version 2).
How can I make sure that the 2 packages will be updated when the user updates 'mypackage' ?
FYI, changing the 'Depends' field to:
Depends: mypackagelib (>= 2)
does NOT work, and returns the following error:
mypackage : Depends: mypackagelib (>= 2) but mypackagelib-2~ppa1~quantal is to be installed
