Hello, I have some questions regarding the Syft code that I'd like to ask. In pkg/cataloger/debian/dependency.go and pkg/cataloger/redhat/dependency.go, after retrieving Requires, how are the dependencies resolved from require to specific Linux software packages? For example, in Fedora, when analyzing the dependency list of a binary package, it might include /bin/sh and libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.38)(64bit). How are these dependencies eventually resolved into a concrete package list (e.g., bash and glibc)? Thank you!

@PatrickStarBaby did you answer your own question and file the issue here:
#3589

If so can I close this one in favor of #3589 or is there some nuance I am missing as to why these two are separate?
