Apt, custom packages, and package dependencies
|

Hello developers, I'm a n00b.
I've got my own little http debian package repository. It shows up with apt
and dselect.
In this repository I've got a custom package that I'm working on that depends
on a bunch of ldap stuff, and contains configuration files and installation
scripts to install and configure ldap for me.
In this package's control file are the following lines:
Package: tiem.ldap-server-config
Architecture: all
Depends: slapd ldap-utils libnss-ldap libpam-ldap
Pre-Depends: slapd ldap-utils libnss-ldap libpam-ldap
My problem is, according to dselect, there are no dependencies or
pre-dependencies listed, and apt won't try to install any of the depencies
before installing my package.
Other custom packages that I have built have their dependencies listed in
dselect, but not this one. And I have both completely erased and rebuilt my
repository on the server and run "apt update" on the client several times.
I figure the problem is in one of two places. Either:
a) There's a cache file somewhere that apt isn't updating when I type "apt
update", or
b) There's a file that needs to be updated on my repository -- even though
I've totally deleted and rebuilt the repository several times.
Anybody have any idea where I would go about finding out what's wrong?
Thanks for your help,
Michael Peek

I knew I would figure it out as soon as I sent this... I forgot to put commas
between the package names in Depends and Pre-Depends.
Oops.
Nevermind, but thanks anyway.

You need to separate the dependencies with commas.

Why repeat each package? Pick one line or the other.

What is listed in the Packages file? That is the only thing dselect
looks at. On the other hand dpkg should complain about missing
depends.

Nope.

Nope.
c) The Packages file gets misgenerated.
