Version 0.0.0 not accepted for requirement (any)

[dradetsky]

Describe the bug

I created a package and since eldev insisted it have a version, I added

;; Version: 0.0.0

I then went to run my tests with eldev test which triggered

Dependency ‘ignore-mouse’ version (any) is required, but at most 0.0.0 is available

And, uhh, that's not what "any" means, buddy.

Anyhow, I was able to fix this by setting the version to 0.0.1. So this is not hard to work around, but also maybe a sign that something is wrong. And in any case, if this is a requirement eldev wants to enforce for whatever reason, it's not clear that it actually attempting to enforce that requirement instead of just suffering from a bug. And also, it's not a requirement I care for.

Steps to reproduce

Create a file like

;;; replicate.el --- replicate  -*- lexical-binding: t -*-

;; Version: 0.0.0

;;; replicate.el ends here

and an Eldev like

(eldev-use-package-archive 'melpa)

And run eldev test in that directory.

Expected behavior

Complaint about inability to find any test files or something like that.

Actual behavior

Dependency ‘replicate’ version (any) is required, but at most 0.0.0 is available

Environment

• Eldev: 1.10.3
• Emacs: 29.4
• OS: Arch Linux

eldev insisted it have a version

Eldev requires it's a package from Emacs point of view. It's rather Emacs [package system] that insists on some version.

The rest is indeed a bug. I committed a fix; it will be released later, with 1.11, as it is a minor issue with a trivial workaround.
