Oops, Got it backwards, mustn't have had enough coffee yet.
You can use -requires to see the dependencies of the package that you want to
see will be affected by the upgrade or not and -provides (jnstead of
-requires) on the package you are upgrading to see if that package provides
any of the files that the other depends on.
