commit 94ff66799a94576ff8003b99d78be6765e6f4500
Author: David Kalnischkies <david@kalnischkies.de>
Date:   Thu Mar 19 09:25:19 2026 +0000

    Do not use unexpected operator in test-apt-get-satisfy
    
    Observing a testrun carefully included:
    ./test-apt-get-satisfy: 101: [: unexpected operator
    Yes, == is not a valid operator here, should just be =.
    
    The result is that we unconditionally skip a single check,
    hardly so much the end of the world that we need to tell
    everyone as no tests were failed, but no good anyhow.
