[question] Managing multiple C++ packages within the same git repository

See original GitHub issue

Version

Conan Version: 1.54.0

Summary

I have two projects using conanfile.py to manage their dependencies. Both are editable packages. Package B is dependent on Package A. Each time I try to install Package B, ($ conan install ...), it fails. I checked the command’s logs and it looks like it is falling during or after (I can’t tell) trying to retrieve Package A. I am confused about what I am doing wrong here.

Could you please advise? If any more information is need (such as seeing the contents of the conanfile.py of each package) please let me know.
