[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Requires(pre) should propagate along dependency graph (Issue #4141)

[Yann Dirson]

ydirson created an issue (rpm-software-management/rpm#4141)

**Describe the bug**

In the context of bootstrapping a koji dnf4 buildroot for Alma10 (`x86_64_v2`) a set of packages, the bootstrap command (here `dnf install -v python3-dnf python3-dnf-core-plugins`, but `dnf install filesystem` shows the same) can result in shell scriptlets failing to execute, even though `/bin/sh` is correctly made available first, because `glibc` (which `bash` has a `Requires:` against) does not get ordered in time for `bash` to be usable.

**To Reproduce**

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. start with a tag containing Almalinux 10.0 `x86_64_v2` packages (https://koji.xcp-ng.org/taginfo?tagID=157)
2. inherit from there a tag containing a single package "shaking dependency tree enough" (https://koji.xcp-ng.org/taginfo?tagID=158 containing https://koji.xcp-ng.org/buildinfo?buildID=5219 : `xcp-ng-release` (quite dirty and to be replaced, please do not judge that part :wink:, which provides `almalinux-release` and changes a pair of dependencies)
3. attempt to build a package against this tag: buildroot bootstrapping fails, as in https://koji.xcp-ng.org/taskinfo?taskID=100340

**Expected behavior**

`glibc` and any other requirement of prereq should be handled as a prereq itself.
See https://koji.xcp-ng.org/taskinfo?taskID=100361 for the same job, run with a `crypto-policies` package rebuilt with an explicit `Requires(pre): glibc`.
