That makes sense, but then shouldn't &quot;urpmq --whatrequires dracut&quot;
produce the same results.

Seems strange to me as the two arguments seem like they should do the
same thing, but clearly they don't.

Perhaps the options should be:

--whatrequires (covers all types of Require(*):
--whatrequires-pre
--whatrequires-post
--whatrequires-runtime

That way everything is quite deterministic and flexible.

The question is which should change? (and who wants to do it? :D)
