[sbopkg-users] Dependencies not installed by sbopkg

[JCA]

I have the following situation:

I want to install a package with sbopkg. This package has a number of
dependencies, that sbopkg detects and will attempt to install, if not
already present in the system. The thing is, one of those dependencies is
already present in the system, but it was not installed by sbopkg. As a
result, sbopkg attempts to build and install it anyway.

Is it possible to make sbopkg aware of the fact that the dependency is
present, even if it wasn't installed with sbopkg? The situation that I want
to address is one in which the package to be installed with sbopkg is
dependent on qt5 - as anybody who has tried knows, building qt5 takes a lot
of resources and a long time, even on beefy systems. Having to build it
explicitly in every system where one wants to use sbopkg is a bit painful.
