NAME

Dpkg::Deps::KnownFacts - list of installed real and virtual packages


DESCRIPTION

This class represents a list of installed packages and a list of virtual packages provided (by the set of installed packages).


METHODS

$facts = Dpkg::Deps::KnownFacts->new();
Creates a new object.

$facts->add_installed_package($package, $version, $arch, $multiarch)
Records that the given version of the package is installed. If $version/$arch is undefined we know that the package is installed but we don't know which version/architecture it is. $multiarch is the Multi-Arch field of the package. If $multiarch is undef, it will be equivalent to ``Multi-Arch: no''.

Note that $multiarch is only used if $arch is provided.

$facts->add_provided_package($virtual, $relation, $version, $by)
Records that the ``$by'' package provides the $virtual package. $relation and $version correspond to the associated relation given in the Provides field (if present).

$facts->evaluate_simple_dep()
This method is private and should not be used except from within Dpkg::Deps.


CHANGES

Version 2.00 (dpkg 1.20.0)

Remove method: $facts->check_package().

Version 1.01 (dpkg 1.16.1)

New option: Dpkg::Deps::KnownFacts->add_installed_package() now accepts 2 supplementary parameters ($arch and $multiarch).

Deprecated method: Dpkg::Deps::KnownFacts->check_package() is obsolete, it should not have been part of the public API.

Version 1.00 (dpkg 1.15.6)

Mark the module as public.
