[Rpm-maint] The description about option '--dump' in manpage is wrong

[Yu Zhiguo]

Hello everybody,

    I find a bug in the latest rpm release(rpm-4.4.2.1 from 
http://www.rpm.org):

    The description about option '--dump' in manpage is wrong.
    The manpage says, "This option must be used with at least one 
of -l, -c, -d.",
but in fact, this option can be used singly.

    The usage of this option is the same with option '--state', they can be 
used
with one of -l, -c, -d, and also can be used singly.
    If used singly, they implies -l.

    I have made a patch for this bug.
    Can you apply it in the next release?

    the patch for rpm-4.4.2.1:
