+It seems it don't work for ocaml libs,
+there's not xtmpl in the results:
+
+$ urpmf --requires ocaml-xmlm
+ocaml-xmlm-devel:ocaml-xmlm[== 1.0.2-1.mga2]
+ocaml-xmlm:ocaml
+
+$ urpmf --requires --literal 'pkgconfig(ocaml-xmlm)'

+could you give a wiki link that explains how to do this?

+urpmi.update --no-ignore "Core Updates Testing"
+but nothing with the name "Sources" in it.

+no "xtmpl" in the answer too
