The topic can surprise you, but here the reason of this question. Rpm has internal dependencies (you can see it in rpm --showrc), and some of this dependencies are set into rpm archive (Requirement in header).
I hope all on this list know that. So now imagine I want to update my powerfull distro from version A to B. The dedicated installer tools (urpmi/yum/whatever) will fetch index. But the tools will be unable to detect one of rpm coming in B need first last rpm because an internal dependencies. So, wouldn't be better for rpm packages of rpm to have it providing it's rpmlib dependencies ? Regards.
