A CUDF document describe an upgrade problem, as faced by package
managers in popular package-based GNU/Linux distributions.
A CUDF document consists of a package universe and of a user request.
The package universe describes all packages known to the package
manager, a subset of which (the package status) denotes the package
being currently installed on the target machine. The user request

the resulting package status (if any) implementing the user request,

enables checking of document properties such as installation
consistency and matching of problems with their solutions.
