Feature changed by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #305556, revision 12 - Title: rpm -q --whatrecommends foobar + Title: zypper se --recommends 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: Implementation + openSUSE Distribution: Done 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". Relations: - zypper what-requires (novell/bugzilla/id: 802154) https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=802154 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. #4: Michael Andres (mlandres) (2013-04-17 12:44:11) done in zypper-1.8.13 #5: Chris Gnineil (zerum) (2013-04-18 17:59:42) Great. Thanks for doing. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305556
