.SH NAME
Dpkg::Deps::KnownFacts \- list of installed real and virtual packages
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This class represents a list of installed packages and a list of virtual
packages provided (by the set of installed packages).
.SH METHODS
.IX Header "METHODS"
.ie n .IP "$facts = Dpkg::Deps::KnownFacts\->\fBnew()\fR;" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$facts\fR = Dpkg::Deps::KnownFacts\->\fBnew()\fR;" 4
.IX Item "$facts = Dpkg::Deps::KnownFacts->new();"
Creates a new object.
.ie n .IP "$facts\->add_installed_package($package, $version, $arch, $multiarch)" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$facts\fR\->add_installed_package($package, \f(CW$version\fR, \f(CW$arch\fR, \f(CW$multiarch\fR)" 4
.IX Item "$facts->add_installed_package($package, $version, $arch, $multiarch)"
Records that the given version of the package is installed. If
\&\f(CW$version\fR/$arch is undefined we know that the package is installed but we
don't know which version/architecture it is. \f(CW$multiarch\fR is the Multi-Arch
field of the package. If \f(CW$multiarch\fR is undef, it will be equivalent to
"Multi-Arch: no".
.Sp
Note that \f(CW$multiarch\fR is only used if \f(CW$arch\fR is provided.
.ie n .IP "$facts\->add_provided_package($virtual, $relation, $version, $by)" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$facts\fR\->add_provided_package($virtual, \f(CW$relation\fR, \f(CW$version\fR, \f(CW$by\fR)" 4
.IX Item "$facts->add_provided_package($virtual, $relation, $version, $by)"
Records that the "$by" package provides the \f(CW$virtual\fR package. \f(CW$relation\fR
and \f(CW$version\fR correspond to the associated relation given in the Provides
field (if present).
.ie n .IP $facts\->\fBevaluate_simple_dep()\fR 4
.el .IP \f(CW$facts\fR\->\fBevaluate_simple_dep()\fR 4
.IX Item "$facts->evaluate_simple_dep()"
This method is private and should not be used except from within Dpkg::Deps.
.SH CHANGES
.IX Header "CHANGES"
.SS "Version 2.00 (dpkg 1.20.0)"
.IX Subsection "Version 2.00 (dpkg 1.20.0)"

supplementary parameters ($arch and \f(CW$multiarch\fR).
.PP
Deprecated method: \f(CW$facts\fR\->\fBcheck_package()\fR is obsolete,
it should not have been part of the public API.
