Re: debian/control package dependency list (how to exclude some version)

On Mon, Oct 08, 2007 at 03:19:03PM -0700, qing zhao <qingzhao@xxxxxxxxx> was heard to say:
Is there a way that I can exclude some package version in package
dependency list. I understand that the current relationships between
packages are: <<, <=, =, >= and >> for strictly earlier, earlier or
equal, exactly equal, later or equal and strictly later, respectively.
But is there a plan to add sth. like != for NOT equal?

Depends: foo
Conflicts: foo (= ver)

This is logically equivalent:

Depends: foo (<< ver) | foo (>> ver)

but not idiomatic and I don't know if the tools will handle it well.
