At the beginning I thought libzypp was making everything more complex, but I think PackageKit is also asking the wrong question.
Yes, it sounds like they are oversimplifying dependency resolution.
Hmm, sent this earlier, seems to have vanished into the aether, sorry if it arrives twice.
Bear in mind that the whole point of packagekit is that it has to be possible to implement it with fairly disparate package management systems.
As I understand it RPM packages both provide and require things (ignoring other types of dependency), and provides are used to resolve requires. However, as I understand it debian packages only have requirements which must be packages.
Not true, debian has virtaul requires like rpm. The even have a dependency "OR", which makes things even more complicated...
