Berks install on cookbook cannot find itself

Question

I have started using Berkshelf, it seems to make sense, but I can't wrap my head around how it should work.

First I created a cookbook using berks cookbook mycookbook. Then I added a dependency to only find that it cannot find mycookbook when I run berks install

So it seems that mycookbook (which is version 0.1.0) depends on default on mycookbook version 0.1.0. Why should mycookbook depend on mycookbook?

Unable to satisfy constraints on package java due to solution constraint (mycookbook = 0.1.0). Solution constraints that may result in a constraint on java: [(mycookbook = 0.1.0) -> (java ~> 1.31.1)]
Demand that cannot be met: (mycookbook = 0.1.0)
Artifacts for which there are conflicting dependencies: java = 1.31.0 -> []Unable to find a solution for demands: mycookbook (0.1.0)

Answer 1

It seems you get this message if you create a cookbook that already exists? I'm not sure. But after renaming it the message is gone.
