DESCRIPTION
       The solv	tool demos some	features of the	libsolv	library. It is not
       meant to	replace	a real package manager,	for example it does not	cache
       downloaded packages.

       --root ROOTDIR
	   Install packages using ROOTDIR as root of the filesystem. This also
	   means that the package database of ROOTDIR will be used.

       --clean
	   Also	get rid	of no longer needed packages when erasing, like
	   libraries that have been used by the	erased packages.

       --best
	   Force usage of the best package (normally the one with the highest
	   version) for	install	and update operations.

       --testcase
	   Write a testcase after dependency solving.

       The following options can be used to filter the packages. If the	same
       option is used multiple times, the result is ORed together.

       -i
	   Limit the packages to installed ones.

       -r REPO
	   Limit the packages to the specified repository.

       --arch ARCHITECTURE
	   Limit the packages to the specified package architecture.

       --type TYPE
