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."
