Unable to use versionlock successfully with dependent packages

[PierreR]

I have had problems with versionlock particularly when the version of two dependent packages would change. Appending all versions without managing the epoc does not work out in practice. That's what happens when using this puppet module with epoc set to 0 each time.

The empiric approach would be to delete all concerned lock -> update -> set new versionlock.

What's the best approach to succeed with versionlock using this module ? I don't fancy managing an epoc state somehow but it might be the sole way ?

Thanks for your help.
