that's a really dangerous way to word that, since there are *numerous*
packages that aren't required by other packages. for example:
$ rpm -q --whatrequires usbview
no package requires usbview
usbview is a perfectly useful program but, according to your
definition, it would be "redundant"?? i'm pretty sure that's not what
you're trying to do.
