You're given a list of installation dependencies. Then you're given a sequence of install/remove/list program commands, and you're supposed to output what programs get installed such that all dependencies are satisfied, and what programs are removed when nothing depends on them. Kind of like a very bare bones version of Linux's APT tool.
