urpmq -d gives the right pakage names.

When I do a

[andyrtr workstation i686]$ rpm -q -R mozilla-firefox
gtk+2 >= 0:2.2.0
indexhtml
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
bash
perl-base
libart_lgpl_2.so.2
libatk-1.0.so.0
libbonobo-2.so.0
libbonobo-activation.so.4
libbonoboui-2.so.0
libc.so.6
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.3)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3)
...

that brings only the file names. Because I want to make my own ISOs I
want to know all needed packages before. I would have to urpmf each
file. I were not able to get "rpm -q -R foo.rpm | urpmf" or something
like that to work.

But "urpmf -d" is good enough for that.

Thank you.
