- fix sorting choices on provided version (feature introduced in 3.08,
but was not working if packages were coming from different repository)
+- when a "Requires:" can be fullfilled by several different packages and
+ one of those packages is explicitly required by another package which
+ is also being installed, silently choose this package instead of letting
+ the choice up to perl-URPM user (fixes bug #46874)
