Yes, I knew that (I actually wrote the line changing the PV myself).
What surprised me (though it makes sense) that PREFERRED_VERSION
refers to PV, and not directly to a part of the filename.
It's probably still too much of 'make' history in my brain...
I wonder if it would make sense to add something to the error message that
also lists the available versions? Then it would be a little more obvious what
you need to set PREFERRED_VERSION to.
That would be great.
And while we are in wishlist mode ;-) :
With a high enough debug level (I think 2), you'll get a list of
providers for a specific target.
To get also a list of versions for a specific package (PN), would
be really helpful.
