Description of problem: xl2tpd explictly Requires: kmod(l2tp_ppp.ko), which is provided by both kernel-modules-extra and kernel-debug-modules-extra. If kernel-{core,modules} are present and kernel-debug-* not, then the expectation is that kernel-modules-extra would be pulled in instead of all of kernel-debug-{core,modules,modules-extra}. In short, the virtual provider with the shortest remaining dependency tree should be given priority. How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: On an system without kernel-debug-* nor kernel-modules-extra installed: dnf install xl2tpd Actual results: kernel-debug-* packages are selected to be installed Expected results: kernel-modules-extra should be selected instead, as kernel-core and kernel-modules are already installed and kernel-debug-* are not. Additional info: Obviously, a workaround is to install kernel-modules-extra manually prior to or together with xl2tpd (or e.g. NetworkManager-l2tp which Requires: it). If this can't be fixed in libsolv, can this be worked around with a weak dep in the kernel, or do we need a change to the Packaging guidelines to e.g. Suggests: kernel-modules-extra when Requires: kmod()?
