Hm, it seems that I was too tired yesterday :( It really allows the solver to remove any package in order to fulfil the given request. Sorry for the noise :( If it does not work in some cases, I believe we can collaborate with libsolv authors to find out the reason. The most precise description is that it sets the SOLVER_FLAG_ALLOW_UNINSTALL flag which is described here: https://github.com/openSUSE/libsolv/blob/master/doc/libsolv-bindings.txt#L2024 Sorry :( -- Radek Holý Associate Software Engineer Software Management Team Red Hat Czech -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
