I end up using rpm -e --test to see what packages actually require something as well, largely because rpm -e --whatrequires output is so horribly misleading (it only lists explicit package dependencies, not automatic). Repoquery can show the reality easier than shell-script tricks and multiple rpm runs: [pmatilai@weasel yum-utils]$ ./repoquery.py --quiet --whatrequires --alldeps ghostscript scribus-0:1.2.1-5.x86_64 ghostscript-0:8.15-0.rc3.2.x86_64 system-config-printer-0:0.6.131-1.x86_64 fbida-fbgs-0:2.03-5.x86_64 ghostscript-gtk-0:8.15-0.rc3.2.x86_64 gimp-print-0:4.2.7-10.x86_64 libgnomeprint22-0:2.10.3-1.i386 ghostscript-devel-0:8.15-0.rc3.2.x86_64 libgnomeprint22-0:2.10.3-1.x86_64 TeXmacs-0:1.0.4.6-1.x86_64 gsview-0:4.6-10.x86_64 gnome-print-1:0.37-11.x86_64 ghostscript-fonts-0:5.50-13.noarch OTOH it will list all packages on the yum package universe requiring ghostscript, not just what you have installed. Supporting that is on my todo-list, if only for this very reason (figuring out dependencies of installed packages reliably without shellscripts or rpm -e --test). - Panu - -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
