Hello Richard,
Thanks very much for the quick response!

It is a valid resolution, but it is not an optimal resolution and
leads to problems resolving with real R5 repositories.
For example, if I have an R5 repository (for example from
bnd/bndtools) with the following three bundles:
osgi.cmpn 4.2
Felix Config Admin 1.2.8
Felix Config Admin 1.4.
and I try to resolve Felix Config Admin 1.4 with the following package imports:
org.apache.felix.cm {version=[1.0,1.1)}
org.apache.felix.cm.file {version=[1.0,1.1)}
org.osgi.framework {version=[1.4,2)}
org.osgi.service.cm {version=[1.4,1.5)}
Given the current logic org.osgi.service.cm will resolve against
osgi.cmpn as it is first. org.apache.felix.cm and
org.apache.felix.cm.file will resolve against Felix Config Admin 1.2.8
as it appears before 1.4.0 in
the capability list. I don't think this is a valid bundle install list.
Or are you saying that something outside of the resolver (i.e.
bnd/bndtools) should fix this sort of problem? Or should a valid R5
repository perhaps not contain both a felix config admin 1.2.8 and
felix config admin 1.4.0?

I agree. Already installed bundles should have priority. But shouldn't
the current
resource list in the resolve result have priority over other potential
bundles to install?
Or is this something that should be dealt with outside the resolver?
thanks in advance,
