Hmm, interesting.  Will try it in a moment.

Is there any way to find dependency packages using up2date? eg

[root@plain download]# rpm -Uvh purp-1.1.0-1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        libdb-3.1.so   is needed by purp-1.1.0-1
        librpmio.so.0   is needed by purp-1.1.0-1
        librpm.so.0   is needed by purp-1.1.0-1

A quick way to find where libdb is from (presumably librpm is from rpm-devel?)

Any other suggestions on text mode package managers?

Ed
