I'm reminded of an old joke. A tourist is lost in Ireland, so he stops his rental car and asks a nearby farmer, how can I get to Dublin from here? The farmer's reply: "Dublin?? Oh, you can't get there from here!"
The point is that in OSGi, resolution proceeds from the current wiring state, and sometimes a set of bundles would fail with a uses-constraint violation if installed on the top of the current wiring state. However if you're prepared to break apart and rewire the existing state, then a solution can often be found.
