apt-get does not allow versioned dependencies to be satisfied by provides. However, anna (which is used in place of apt for udeb retrieval by debian-installer) does allow this. Testing with apt-get will not give you useful answers. > Since I am installing udebs on the target system without access to the > configuration of the build system I get You can't usefully install udebs on a normal system.
