Sounds like you're looking at a depsolver rather than an rpm impl.  Cf
yum vs rpm and apt vs dpkg.  I'd recommend getting the core jrpm library
be only dealing with packages and rpmdb, then letting other apps deal
with repos, etc.

I'd say waht you're looking for should be written on top of jrpm not
core to it.
