  Title: rpm -q --whatrecommends foobar
   
  openSUSE-11.2: Rejected by Stephan Kulow (coolo)
  reject date: 2008-12-11 13:46:45
  reject reason: this would be useless for debugging as only half the
  cases why a package is installed is known to rpm
  Priority
      Requester: Desirable

Description:
  For debugging purporses why a package is installed it would be nice to
  have a "--whatrecommends" query option for rpm and not only "--
  whatrequires".
   
  Discussion:
  #1: Bernhard Wiedemann (bmwiedemann) (2011-01-29 14:14:00) 
  This would be quite useful. If it can not be done in rpm, maybe zypper
  would be an appropriate place.
   
+ #2: Michael Schröder (mlschroe) (2012-03-06 15:17:19) (reply to #1)
+ I don't think it should be done in rpm, we really don't want another
+ index database.
