Can't load an image from a library in Flutter

I need a library to load an SVG (using the flutter_svg package) located in the main app's assets directory. Right now I have the following code in the library function:

SvgPicture.asset(svgSrc, package: 'example_app')

Where svgSrc will be 'assets/images/logo.svg'.

However on flutter run I get the following exception:

Error while trying to load an asset: Failed to load asset at "assets/packages/example_app/assets/images/logo.svg" (404)
══╡ EXCEPTION CAUGHT BY SVG ╞═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
The following assertion was thrown resolving a single-frame picture stream:
Unable to load asset: packages/example_app/assets/images/logo.svg

I have added the main app's pubspec.yaml I have:

assets:
  - assets/images/

Where am I going wrong here?

Here is an example showing how to share images via a custom package.

in answer to Jason's comment: it's just a question of paths. You can easily move packages to any location until you can locate them in your pubspec.yaml f.e. move it to one directory up and change pubspec.yaml accordingly:

dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter
  flutter_svg: ^0.22.0
  images:
    path: ../packages/images/
  another_package:
    path: ../packages/another_package/
