Based on a discussion about depend actions back in May/June [1], my 
understanding is that a depend action with type=require is supposed to 
specify the minimum version that is needed to satisfy a dependency.

So given a repository with:

pkg:/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
pkg:/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
pkg:/[EMAIL PROTECTED] with a depend action, type=require fmri=pkg:/[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]

When I install bar, what version of foo should be installed?  Currently, 
the code is installing [EMAIL PROTECTED]  An image-update will then update foo 
to 
1.4.

Is this a bug?

If it's not a bug, how does one specify a dependency on a minimum 
version of a package, but when the package is installed, you want the 
most recent version of the dependency installed?

Thanks.
Tom
