I just did a cooker rsync and am using MandrakeUpdate to update my installed packages. One thing I find annoying is that when MandrakeUpdate(urpmi) signals that additional packages are needed to complete dependencies there is no way to find out what is requiring a given package.
In the most recent batch of updates that I am doing with MandrakeUpdate for instance, kernel-linus2.4 is a required dependency. Of course I don't want that installed and I want to know what is requiring it. How can I find that out? There does not seem to be the equivillent of rpm's "--whatrequires" for urpmi. It would be really nice if one of the tabs in the MandrakeUpdate windows that shows which additional packages are going to be installed to satisfy dependencies showed which package being installed required the dependent package to be added to the installation list. b. -- Brian J.
