Claim:
A method for enabling installation or deinstallation of at least one software module in at least one equipment item of an on-board system, according to at least one dependency constraint applicable to the at least one software module for installation or deinstallation of the at least one software module in the at least one equipment item, the method comprising: receiving a list of software module references, the list including at least one reference to the at least one software module; receiving at least one command, linked to the at least one reference, for installation or deinstallation of the at least one software module in the at least one equipment item; accessing, using a processor, the at least one dependency constraint; evaluating, using the processor, a sequence of basic operations resolving the at least one dependency constraint for applying the at least one command to the at least one reference for installation or deinstallation of the at least one software module in the at least one equipment item; in the event that said evaluating results in a positive determination regarding resolving the at least one dependency constraint for applying the at least one command to the at least one reference, obtaining the at least one software module; and in the event that said evaluating results in a negative determination regarding resolving the at least one dependency constraint for applying the at least one command to the at least one reference, repeating said receiving a list of software module references, said receiving at least one command, and said evaluating, but not said accessing.
