I don't think that rpm has this functionality, but it sure would be
nice.
Say you're in your RedHat/RPMS directory and want to install an
rpm, but a simple -ivh (or -Uvh) fails because that package has
dependencies that weren't met. Is there a way one could either list
and/or then install the packages providing those dependencies either
together with or without that particular package? Even if it had the
capability of listing what file was needed and the package that provides
that file. (Personally, I'd like to have that more than the automatic
install.) For example:
# rpm -ivh foo.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
bar.so.2 is needed by foo.rpm (provided by libbar)
Just a simple example, but hopefully y'all see what I mean.
Cheers,
-Charlie
