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.
