${shlibs:Depends} 使用上的一些陷阱

其實 0~git202411270842.3c1cdd3 這樣的 Debian Version 會等於 0~git202411270842.3c1cdd3-0

$ dpkg --compare-versions 0~git202411270842.3c1cdd3-0 eq 0~git202411270842.3c1cdd3; echo $?
0

於是 0~git202411270842.3c1cdd3-0~ 這樣的 Debian Version 就會小於 0~git202411270842.3c1cdd3

$ dpkg --compare-versions 0~git202411270842.3c1cdd3-0~ lt 0~git202411270842.3c1cdd3; echo $?
0

例如套件 A 使用了 0~git202411270842.3c1cdd3-0~ 這樣的版號。

陷阱來自於在套件 B 的 debian/control 裡面相依性使用 ${shlibs:Depends} 時，只會找到套件 A 的 upstream version 而已，然後會自動代入 (>= 0~git202411270842.3c1cdd3) 這樣的版號相依。

於是在套件 B 的 Debian packaging 打包後，就會遇到明明套件 B 的 Debian source packages 可以成功編譯成 Debian binary packages，但是卻無法安裝使用的情況。

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

至於解決方法就是避免使用比 0~git202411270842.3c1cdd3-0 還要小的版號，像是可以改用 0~git202411270842.3c1cdd3-1~ 這樣的版號就不會產生問題了。

$ dpkg --compare-versions 0~git202411270842.3c1cdd3-1~ gt 0~git202411270842.3c1cdd3; echo $?
