Control File: invalid dependency comparator

Submitted by Alexis Wilke on Fri, 03/22/2013 - 04:19

The list of valid dependency comparators is limited to the following:

  • =
  • <<
  • <=
  • >>
  • >=

Any other comparator (such as <, >, <>, or !=) are not accepted and this error is generated.

VALIDDepends: boost (<< 1.32), qt (= 4.8.3), apache2 (>> 2.4)
INVALIDDepends: boost (!= 1.32), qt (<> 4.8.3), apache2 (> 2.4)
