How to porperly add package dependencies?

[borque]

Hello!
I have created an installer for IrfanView PlugIns which is validated by winget an works in sandboxtest.psd1.

As the PlugIns require the main programme IrfanView to be installed in the same version I tried to add a dependency to the manifest. IrfanView is also available here.

I tried adding
PackageDependencies: IrfanSkiljan.IrfanView
to my manifest but I always get a warning that this field is unknown.

When I try
`Dependencies:

• PackageDependencies: IrfanSkiljan.IrfanView`

I get the following error:

Error context: [Dependencies] Description: Value type not permitted by 'type' constraint.
Error context: Description: Failed to validate against schema associated with property name 'Dependencies'.

The same applies for
Dependencies: IrfanSkiljan.IrfanView

So what am I making wrong?

You can see how they are added in an example manifest here

So, the correct way would be:

Dependencies:
  PackageDependencies:
  - PackageIdentifier: IrfanSkiljan.IrfanView

But, as answered by Esco here: #80745 (comment) , this requires dependency support to be completed which is not the case yet.

Thanks, this information confirms what I tried after finding another example. It was the third row that I had missed. I was able to complete my manifest and I have submitted it!
