Feature changed by: Duncan Mac-Vicar (dmacvicar) Feature #305556, revision 7 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 - openSUSE Distribution: Evaluation by engineering manager + openSUSE Distribution: Implementation Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Stephan Binner (beineri) Partner organization: openSUSE.org 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. + #3: Duncan Mac-Vicar (dmacvicar) (2013-03-05 15:40:34) (reply to #2) + We are adding dependency search capabilities to zypper search. + zypper wp will remain there for back-compatibility reasons but search + will do it in a generic way. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305556
