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.
