Pretending that status is empty (nothing installed) is probably ok
here. Maybe just assume that the current essential is installed?
I'm not sure what's better.
Should the status really be completely empty? What about virtual
packages like darwin and macosx ?
Virtual packages are generated by VirtPackages. Dpkg knows about
virtuals by reading system(fink-virtual-pkgs) every time dpkg runs--it
doesn't actually store them in its status database file. Fink's Status
actually reads dpkg's status db directly rather than using dpkg
itself.
Yeah, but we are talking about simulating a different distribution
here -- I want to be able to test from my 10.4-transitional system
whether I can move a given package from 10.3/unstable to 10.3/stable.
And if the package happens do "Depend: macosx (<<10.4)" ... ?
Maybe I am just missing your point, sorry if that is the case :-(
Cheers,
Max
