[oe] How to select specific version of dependant component

[Andrew Tverdohlebov]

Dear openembedded community,

Could you give me a hint how to write a recipe that refers to specific version of a library.

For example my package depends on libnet 1.0.2
If I write
DEPENDS += "libnet"
it will take libnet with maximum version number 1.1.2
How can I instruct bitbake to take libnet 1.0.2 ?

In other recipes I saw something like
DEPENDS += "libnet (= 1.0.2)"

But it doesn't work in my case for some reason.

Huge thanks in advance,
Andrew
