We can add more features to urpmq which is used to query urpmi database, even if
currently not a lot of queries are available.

There is a bug in the media list of urpmi which prevent them to be sorted in the
right order, this will be fixed, but this can cause this behaviour if the
"correct" glibc is not identified when computing dependancies of contrib medium,
so it takes what is available => hackglibc...

Not currently, maybe a degenerated mode will allow such things. Because we need
to compute dependancies the provides, requires and group of each package. This
is currently taken from hdlist*.cz* files, but it could be already extracted.
Note also the mode is degenerated because there could be requires on files in
rpm, and such file are not listed in provides. the provides file in urpmi
database contains standard provides and files that have been at least required
once.
