# Default Solver Policy
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A solver policy defines behaviour variables of the dependency solver. It decides
|
|
|
|
|
which versions are considered newer than others, which packages should be
|
2012-06-20 21:15:54 +00:00
|
|
|
preferred over others and whether operations like downgrades or uninstall are
|
2011-10-22 10:48:53 +00:00
|
|
|
allowed.

## Selection of preferred Packages
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following describe package pool situations with user requests and the
|
|
|
|
|
resulting order in which the solver will try to install them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The rules are to be applied in the order of these descriptions.
