equivs 2.0.9 (powerpc binary) in ubuntu quantal
This package provides a tool to create trivial Debian packages.
Typically these packages contain only dependency information, but they
can also include normal installed files like other packages do.
.
One use for this is to create a metapackage: a package whose sole
purpose is to declare dependencies and conflicts on other packages so
that these will be automatically installed, upgraded, or removed.
.
Another use is to circumvent dependency checking: by letting dpkg
think a particular package name and version is installed when it
isn't, you can work around bugs in other packages' dependencies.
(Please do still file such bugs, though.)
