Description Olav Vitters 2020-04-07 12:37:14 CEST 
Description of problem:

urpmq can print the following warnings:
> --requires behaviour changed, use --requires-recursive to get the old behaviour
and
> --suggests now displays the suggested packages, see --allow-suggests for previous behaviour
> You should now use --recommends.

It seems the --requires warning was added on 2008-02-25 14:10:34 +0000 by Pascal Rigaux. I think everyone knows there's a --requires-recursive option by now. I think it's nicer if urpmq is a bit more silent. This behaviour changed 12+ years ago.

For the --suggests change, it was initially added on 2008-07-08 07:58:05 by Pascal Rigaux, then the second sentence was added by Thierry Vignaud on 2014-09-05 16:46:54. Way more recent, though easily 5 years. I don't care too much about the --suggests though, I don't use it that much.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
8.120-2.mga8.src.rpm

How reproducible:
See steps to reproduce.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. urpmq --suggests something
2. or: urpmq --requires something
3.
