Hm, it seems that I was too tired yesterday :( It really allows the solver to remove any package in order to fulfil the given request. Sorry for the noise :(

If it does not work in some cases, I believe we can collaborate with libsolv authors to find out the reason.

The most precise description is that it sets the SOLVER_FLAG_ALLOW_UNINSTALL flag which is described here: https://github.com/openSUSE/libsolv/blob/master/doc/libsolv-bindings.txt#L2024

Sorry :(
