Michl has convinced me to add an additional call :-) : /** Check if the solvable is satisfied,broken or not relevant * (not important, so it can be ignored) * \return BROKEN, SATISFIED, NOTRELEVANT */ ValidValue validate() const; So take this call if you need the information if the patch is relevant AND e.g. broken. It is faster :-) Greetings Stefan Stefan Schubert schrieb:

Hi, this is interesting for all UIs concerning package handling. This call gives an answer to "Is this PoolItem/ResObject interesting for user and should it be shown ?"

/** Returns true if the solvable is relevant which means e.G. for patches * that at least one package of the patch is installed. */ bool isRelevant() const;

Greetings Stefan
