This isn't a "well known" way; but I've stumbled onto the "yup!" utility from the yellowdog linux distro (similar to debian's apt). yup! allows for automated rpm upgrades with dependency checking. In order for a client to get all these features from yup; the distro admin (namely.. you) needs to run a yup! specific utility (yup-arch) to analyze the distro's rpms... yup-arch creates some yup specific dot-files that describe the distro's dependencies; LONG STORY SHORT; when you run yup-arch (cd RedHat/RPMS && yup-arch .) it will tell you what dependencies haven't been met. Hope this helps, Mike
