Not a case with regular Packagist packages, but some custom installers with custom repos do this, and the current behavior should not randomly change at some point, as that would cause downstream breakage.
Restores some Composer 1.x behavior like unbound constraints conflicting
with default branches unless they are branch aliased.
Simplifies conflicts with aliases because packages cannot be installed
without their aliases, so we do not need to know which aliases are
uninstalled in lock file or installed.json.
The only type of request job remaining was "install" which is really a
root requirement. The only other kind of input for the solver is now a
set of fixed packages.
Rules have been updated to account for only two kinds of former job
reason: FIXED or ROOT_REQUIRE. The job property has always been
redundant and has been removed, since reasonData suffices.
Problem reasons are always rules, so the unnecessary wrapping in an
array has been removed.
We now only ever generate a single rule per root require or fixed
package, so there is no need for the solver to special handle disabling
"jobs" anymore, the rule can just be disabled as usual.
For consistency special handling of rules for jobs in problems has been
integrated into the rule class like all other rule reasons. As part of
this change the error message for root requirements has been improved a
bit to make it clearer where the package installation request came from.
The word job has also been removed from operations, which are called
operations, not jobs.
The solver now only calculates a lock file transaction which does not
need to be sorted in order of dependencies. This is only necessary for
the local repo transaction generated without the solver during install

- Introduce separate Lock and LocalRepo transactions, one for changes
to the lock file, one for changes to locally installed packages based
on lock file
- Remove various hacks to keep dev dependencies updated and
incorporated the functionality into the transaction classes
- Remove installed repo, there are now local repo, locked repo and
platform repo
- Remove access to local repo from solver, only supply locked packages
- Update can now be run to modify the lock file but not install packages
to local repo

This 5 character fix comes with a solver test as well as a functional
installer test essentially verifying the same thing. The solver test is
more useful when working on the solver. But the functional test is less
likely to be accidentally modified incorrectly during refactoring, as
every single package, version and link in the rather complex test
scenario is essential, and a modified version of the test may very well
still result in a successful installation but no longer verify the bug
described below.
Background:
In commit 451bab1c2c from May 19, 2012 I
refactored literals from complex objects into pure integers to reduce
memory consumption. The absolute value of an integer literal is the id
of the package it refers to in the package pool. The sign indicates
whether the package should be installed (positive) or removed (negative),
So a major part of the refactoring was swapping this call:
$literal->getPackageId()
For this:
abs($literal)
Unintentionally in line 554/523 I incorrectly applied this change to the
line:
$this->literalFromId(-$literal->getPackageId());
It was converted to:
-abs($literal);
The function literalFromId used to create a new literal object. By using
the abs() function this change essentially forces the resulting literal
to be negative, while the minus sign previously inverted the literal, so
positive into negative and vice versa.
This particular line is in a function meant to analyze a conflicting
decision during dependency resolution and to draw a conclusion from it,
then revert the state of the solver to an earlier position, and attempt
to solve the rest of the rules again with this new "learned" conclusion.
Because of this bug these conclusions could only ever occur in the
negative, e.g. "don't install package X". This is by far the most likely
scenario when the solver reaches this particular line, but there are
exceptions.
If you experienced a solver problem description that contained a
statement like "Conclusion: don't install vendor/package 1.2.3" which
directly contradicted other statements listed as part of the problem,
this could likely have been the cause.
Pool construction depends on the install request now, so only required
packages get loaded, add some structure for future asynchronously
