Hi all,

I'm trying to use the dpkg that's part of BB and the dependencies
version doesn't seem to work.  I created to packages one that depends on
the other.  The first one called testpkg-0.0.1.deb installs fine but the
second one won't install saying: 
"dpkg: package testpkg2 depends on testpkg, which is not installed or
flagged to be installed"
This is the control file of the second package

Package: testpkg2
Version: 0.0.1
Section: devel 
Priority: optional
Architecture: ppc
Essential: no
Depends: testpkg (>=0.0.1)
Pre-Depends:
Recommends:  
Suggests: 
Installed-Size:
Maintainer: 
Conflicts:
Replaces:
Provides:
Description: The description can contain free-form text
             describing the function of the program, what
             kind of features it has, and so on.

It seems to work if I don't add the (>=0.0.1) I'm using BB version
1.5.1 
Thanks

Kevin
