Comment 2 for bug 245238

Mandriva urpmq provides the following options:

--requires
           Prints the package requires.

--requires-recursive
           Print dependencies (maximal closure).

--whatprovides
           Search in provides to find package.

--whatrequires-recursive
           Reverse search to what requires recursively the package given
           (looking through virtual packages).

It would be very useful for smart to provide the equivalent. It currently provides:

--show-provides Show provides for the given packages
--show-requires Show requires for the given packages

It would should also provide:

--show-provides-recursive
--show-requires-recursive

this would be particularly useful with the dotty output for visualizing loops in dependencies etc:

smart query --format=dotty --show-requires-recursive basesystem-minimal
