    Make the solver aware of pkg-config constraints · c72aa8db
    inaki authored
    When solving, we now discard plans that would involve packages with a
    pkgconfig-depends constraint which is not satisfiable with the current
    set of installed packages (as listed by pkg-config --list-all).
    
    This fixes https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/3016.
    
    It is possible (in principle, although it should be basically impossible
    in practice) that "pkg-config --modversion pkg1 pkg2... pkgN" fails to
    execute for various reasons, in particular because N is too large, so
    the command line becomes too long for the operating system limits.
    
    If this happens, revert to the previous behavior of accepting any
    install plan, regardless of any pkgconfig-depends constraints.
