           Summary: Resolve issue with modules.txt
           Product: Kepler
           Version: 2.0.0
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: david.v.welker at gmail.com

Automatic suite resolution has some issues with regard to patching. For
example, if reporting-2.1.0 contains a self-reference to reporting-2.1.^, then
when reporting-2.1 is patched, this will resolve to:

reporting-2.1.0
reporting-2.1.1

This is clearly incorrect, especially as the patch will be overridden by the
older version and both modules are clearly unnecessary.

This is a particularly tricky issue, as fixing this bug will affect how
modules.txt is interpreted and may cause some backwards compatibility issues. I
will be investigating solutions to this that are maximally backwards
compatible.
