Description
> The documentation doesn't have any example of solver rejection?
Searching for "rejecting" in `*.rst` gets no hits.
_Originally posted by @philderbeast in https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/9824#issuecomment-2010092134_ in response to a question posed by @Kleidukos.
I remember when first trying out cabal, seeing the solver rejection message and not being able to come up with a solvable set of versions. It would be nice to have some walk-throughs on how to deal with these with examples.
Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue points to documentation in *.rst; start by searching existing solver and dependency-resolution sections, including the absence of hits for "rejecting." Add a worked example or walkthrough for solver rejection, and verify that the documentation clearly explains how to handle the scenario.
