[Mageia-dev] Problem with rpm -q --whatrequires

[Colin Guthrie]

Hi,

I think I've mentioned this before here, but I keep getting tripped up
by this problem giving out false information.

Is this because the kernel requires it as Requires(pre) and thus it
doesn't show up? Should it show up?


[colin at jimmy ~]$ rpm -q --whatrequires dracut
no package requires dracut
