add option to explain "why" #468

Open lnussel opened 1 year ago

When doing a zypper dup, the system sometimes suddenly pulls in tons of packages, eg due to some weird recommends that was added in some package. libsolv now improved it's capabilities to explain reasons. There's also a new -W option to testsolv: https://github.com/openSUSE/libsolv/commit/958f993dc05a017ce3727ec7973924625dc49258

How about adding a feature to explain packages to the summary screen of zypper? Like eg pressing w and typing a package name? So we can finally figure out why eg X gets pulled in on a server :-)

Yes, WIP. This could make some things a lot easier.
