Comment # 4 on bug 1200841 from Stefan Hundhammer

So what you are looking for is in fact another solution to be proposed for this
particular type of dependency problem.

While I can understand your desire to get such a very specialized, dedicated
solution to choose from, I don't think it is reasonably feasible; it would
require too much specialized knowledge within the dependency resolver to
recognize this very special case, and also to check such a very special
solution exists and can be applied.

Notice that this is not a property of the YaST package GUI, but of the
low-level dependency resolver; the dependency resolver is what proposes the
possible solutions that the user can choose from. The YaST GUI only presents
them and lets the user select one of them for each individual dependency
problem.


So, we can ask our libzypp / dependency resolver experts if they see a chance
to implement such a very special case, but IMHO that is very unlikely.


Libzypp team, please add your input.
