[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Is there a way to handle Requires(Pretrans) dependency in a single transaction (#1337)

[Panu Matilainen]

As per the name, a *pretrans* dependency has to be present prior to transaction start and cannot be satisfied by other packages in the transaction, because the transaction hasn't started at that point! That behavior is the whole point of that special dependency type.

The dependency info is of course queriable via API (and cli), but rpm doesn't offer any special aid to construct multiple transactions in such a situation, it's up to the API user to do so.
