Installing multiple interdependent source packages

Is there any way to install packages from local archives even if they specify dependency on each other?

To give you an example: I have these two source packages:

• cli-wrapper
• gui-wrapper
• api-common

cli-wrapper depends on api-common and gui-wrapper depends on api-common. In reality I may need to install either cli+api, or gui+api, or cli+gui+api. The only way for me to get packages to the target is to copy the packages themselves, there’s no internet access where the packages are installed.

I’ve searched high and low, couldn’t find anything that’d do this.

This works with the new resolver.

Are you asking for the following to be functional?

Precisely that, with an extra condition that one of the packages depends on another packages. I’ll update the post with verbose logs tomorrow.
