Is there something similar to 'dnf repoquery --whatrequires foo-libs --all-deps'
in RPM?  See the following:

    $ rpm -q --whatrequires libarchive
    no package requires libarchive
    $ sudo dnf remove libarchive
    Dependencies resolved.
    Error: The operation would result in removing the following protected 
packages: dnf.

Thanks,
Pavel
