Description

This is on beta4 hrev56578+84 64 bits.

While trying to update koder-0.5.4 to koder-0.6.0, pkgman update koder insisted there was "Nothing to do.".

Shell output follows:

I would have expected pkgman update to inform the user that there is a conflict/problem, and offer to choose a solution (as pkgman install did above) instead of just failing silently.

(not sure if this is only a /bin/pkgman issue, or a PackageKit one, so I'm not setting the "Component" ticket field)

Hit this one again while trying to update Genio:

pkgman update genio said "Nothing to do". Uninstalled old genio, and then pkgman install genio showed the problem:

Encountered problems:
problem 1: package genio-3.0.0-1 requires cmd:clang>=16, but none of the providers can be installed
  solution 1:
    - allow deinstallation of llvm12_clang-12.0.1-8
  solution 2:
    - do not install "providing genio"
Please select a solution, skip the problem for now or quit.
