In rpm I would like to have semantic "which package will stop working if I remove this package". I.e. when I run: rpm -e foo then I will get some errors that foo cannot be removed because A,B and C requires it. I would expect that --whatrequires gives me the same list (sans transitive requires). So in your example: > An example to think about - have a package with following requires installed > richdep.spec: > Requires: A > Requires: B > Requires: (C and D) > Requires: (E or F) > Requires: (G if H else I) > > Which of the following queries should include 'richdep' in the output? > rpm -q --whatrequires A > rpm -q --whatrequires B richdep for both above. > rpm -q --whatrequires C > rpm -q --whatrequires D > rpm -q --whatrequires '(C and D)' richdep for all three > rpm -q --whatrequires E > rpm -q --whatrequires F none > rpm -q --whatrequires '(E or F)' richdep > rpm -q --whatrequires G > rpm -q --whatrequires '(G if H)' > rpm -q --whatrequires '(G if H else I)' for all three: richdep if *I* have H installed, otherwise none > rpm -q --whatrequires H none > rpm -q --whatrequires I richdep if there is no H installed on my machine, otherwise none Just my 2 cents. -- Miroslav Suchy, RHCA Red Hat, Senior Software Engineer, #brno, #devexp, #fedora-buildsys _______________________________________________ Rpm-ecosystem mailing list Rpm-ecosystem@lists.rpm.org http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-ecosystem
