However, as I hinted at in my other message but maybe didnt expand on, the problem is you cannot Provide: a version of a package. So if something depends on "compress-zlib-pm (>= 1.19-1)" then your Provide: will fail.
And that scheme *still* doesn't work. Once I have system-perlmods
installed, it *still* wants to try to install something like compress-zlib-pm,
but then fails because my package conflicts with it.
fink itself will need to be improved to allow versioned Provides:. (something we all would like :)
Researching this a bit more, it appears that this is a dpkg limitation. So, this will be hard to fix on the dpkg side, again unless we "force" everything. dpkg on debian linux also cannot handle Provides: when another package has a versioned dependency.
