Yes, people generally learn more from "mistakes" or "failures" than "success".... and that is why your post is good for everyone who might be working on a similar project. UNIX.com is not about "the best solution" and nor is it a "show off site" where people are trying (at least hopefully not) to "out code" each other in a big popularity contest. Here is a site for sharing our collective tech experience, freely and with as little commercial and marketing influence; and in a way which everyone is kind and respectful of others, regardless of the number of years of experience. Do we always succeed? No of course not. But we try and that is our goal.
I'm sure many people in the future will benefit from your self-discovery journey on this topic, Michele31416,
Thanks for posting back and closing the loop.

edos-pscheck
EDOS-RPMCHECK(1) General Commands Manual EDOS-RPMCHECK(1)
NAME
Edos-pscheck - Check satisfiability of pkgsrc package dependencies
SYNOPSIS
edos-pscheck [option] ... pkg-summary-file
DESCRIPTION
edos-pscheck reads package descriptions from a file in the pkg_summary format of NetBSD. We say that a package is identified by the pair
consisting of the package name and of the package version.
A package (called goal) is called installable with respect to a set of packages if there exists a subset of the packages that
- contains at most one version for each package name
- contains the goal package (in any version, or a specific version)
- all packages of the subset have their dependencies and conflicts satisfied in this subset.
Edos-psmcheck checks whether every package in the set is installable with respect to the input set of packages. Specific versions can be
specified by following the package name with the sign '=' and the version of the package (for instance, 'xemacs21=21.4.17-1'). If no pack-
age name is given as argument then all packages of the input set are checked for satisfiability.
The constraint solving algorithm is complete, that is it finds a solution whenever there exists one, even for multiple disjunctive depen-
dencies and deep package conflicts. This problem is computationally infeasible in theory (that is, NP-complete), but can in practice be
solved very efficiently.
