Since the algorithm takes the distance into account, it could have been
happened also:

A depends on B, C
B depends on D
C depends on CL-0.0-EMPTY
D depends on CL-1.1.1

C' dep to CL-0.0-EMPTY is nearer -> compilation fails.

As said, it's a good solution for an end application, but not for libraries
used by others ;-)
