Can somebody clarify the difference between --skip-broken and --nobest?
Because even after reading the man page, I still don't get it. And I
believe most our users will not get it either.
--nobest means: consider older versions of packages for installation, don't insist on
upgrading everything.
--skip-broken means: skip packages which were selected but cannot be installed, instead of
erroring out.
At least that's how I understand it.
