Description

I am not sure if this is behavior, bug, or my problem in my to complicate case, but I tried job with

queue_push2(&goal->staging, SOLVER_DISTUPGRADE|SOLVER_SOLVABLE_ALL|SOLVER_WEAK, 0)

and I still was unable to get transaction with same set errors like without SOLVER_WEAK. Please is SOLVER_WEAK supported with SOLVER_DISTUPGRADE|SOLVER_SOLVABLE_ALL ?
Thanks a lot for any information that anyone can provide.
