Dpkg::Deps::Union \- list of unrelated dependencies
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This class represents a list of relationships.
It inherits from Dpkg::Deps::Multiple.
.SH METHODS
.IX Header "METHODS"
.ie n .IP $dep\->output([$fh]) 4
.el .IP \f(CW$dep\fR\->output([$fh]) 4
.IX Item "$dep->output([$fh])"
The \fBoutput()\fR method uses ", " to join the list of relationships.
.ie n .IP $dep\->implies($other_dep) 4
.el .IP \f(CW$dep\fR\->implies($other_dep) 4
.IX Item "$dep->implies($other_dep)"
.PD 0
.ie n .IP $dep\->get_evaluation($other_dep) 4
.el .IP \f(CW$dep\fR\->get_evaluation($other_dep) 4
.IX Item "$dep->get_evaluation($other_dep)"
.PD
These methods are not meaningful for this object and always return undef.
.ie n .IP $dep\->simplify_deps($facts) 4
.el .IP \f(CW$dep\fR\->simplify_deps($facts) 4
.IX Item "$dep->simplify_deps($facts)"
The simplification is done to generate an union of all the relationships.
It uses \f(CW$simple_dep\fR\->merge_union($other_dep) to get its job done.
