I don't understand why would you (just) close this bug. Merely because 
reproducer is no longer valid and you "have enough bugs open"?? But the 
problem is still there... It shouldn't be too hard to find (or made) package 
with versioned dependency satisfy-able from "experimental" only... 

At least you should be able to test if resolver fails on unsatisfiable 
versioned dependencies instead of silently installing older versions than 
required.

It is understandable if you can't address the issue yet or choose to 
prioritise other bugs. But closing legitimate bugs instead of fixing them 
never helps anything...
