# 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
|
|
prefered over others and whether operations like downgrades or uninstall are
|
|
allowed.
|
|
|
|
## Selection of prefered 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.
|
|
|
|
### Package versions
|
|
|
|
Packages: Av1, Av2, Av3
|
|
|
|
* Installed: Av2
|
|
|
|
Request: install A
|
|
|
|
* (Av3)
|
|
|
|
### Repository priorities
|
|
|
|
Packages Repo1.Av1, Repo2.Av1
|
|
|
|
* priority(Repo1) >= priority(Repo2) => (Repo1.Av1, Repo2.Av1)
|
|
* priority(Repo1) < priority(Repo2) => (Repo2.Av1, Repo1.Av1)
|
|
|
|
### Virtual Packages (provides)
|
|
|
|
Packages Av1, Bv1
|
|
|
|
* Av1 provides Xv1
|
|
* Bv1 provides Xv1
|
|
|
|
Request: install X
|
|
|
|
* priority(Av1.repo) >= priority(Bv1.repo) => (Av1, Bv1)
|
|
* priority(Av1.repo) < priority(Bv1.repo) => (Bv1, Av1)
|
|
|
|
### Package replacements
|
|
|
|
Packages: Av1, Bv2
|
|
|
|
* Bv2 replaces Av1
|
|
|
|
Request: install A
|
|
|
|
* priority(Av1.repo) >= priority(Bv2.repo) => (Av1, Bv2)
|
|
* priority(Av1.repo) < priority(Bv2.repo) => (Bv2, Av1)
|
|
|
|
Bv2 version is ignored, only the replacement version for A matters.
