superseding solution

A superseding solution is a solution that contains at least the same software components as contained in one or more Superseded solutions and can contain additional software components that are not part of any superseded solution.

A solution supersedes another solution if the following conditions are met:

• The superseding solution contains at least all the components of the other solution.
• The superseding solution contains newer versions of these components.
• The superseded solution is not yet installed. If the superseded solution is already installed, speaking of a superseding solution is illogical.
