NAME

       Lintian::Relation::Predicate - Lintian type for relationship predicates

SYNOPSIS

           use Lintian::Relation::Predicate;

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides functions for parsing and evaluating package relationships such as
       Depends and Recommends for binary packages and Build-Depends for source packages.  It
       parses a relationship into an internal format and can then answer questions such as "does
       this dependency require that a given package be installed" or "is this relationship a
       superset of another relationship."
