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

[Keerthana K]

I have a package A with package B as Requires(pretrans) dependency. While trying to install pkg A if B is not already installed on the system it gives "error: Failed dependencies". Even though I add package B as part of the installation. 

```
#] $ rpm -ivh B-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm A-1.1-1.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        B is needed by A

```

I verified the same in dnf and it gives the same dependency error. 
Does RPM provide any API to query the Requires(pretrans) dependencies and  create two transactions in package managers instead of a single transaction?
