Hi. I'm trying to build a package so it depends on a specific version of a library.
I carefully read http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/index.en.html but didn't get the answer I was looking for. In my debian/control file I have for a given package: Depends: ${misc-depends} Which will install all the dependencies as required ; however it creates a dependency on a newer library I previously installed which doesn't ship with the system. I know that my package will work with the standard library. Is there a way to force which version of the dependency is going to be installed? Like right now, my package automatically add a dependency to version 1.0.19 of the library, I want that dependency to be on version 1.0.17 The only way I've found so far is to remove ${misc-depends} and set manually all the dependencies.. But obviously this isn't an ideal solution, as I could very easily forget about a dependency in the future. What I tried to do is in the debian/rules add: dh_makeshlibs -a -V 'libname (>= 1.0.17)' but this still generate a dependency as: shlibs-depends=libartsc0 (>= 1.5.9), libname (>= 1.0.17), libname (>> 1.0.19) Which I don't know how it will behave... Is there a way to get the dependency to be automatically generated ; as well as specifying a given version of a dependency? Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
