There are a couple of things I think you might find useful (off the top of my head): repoquery --alldeps --whatrequires <dep> package-cleanup --leaves pkg-deps-tree-view.py --limit-installed <pkg> (or *, for everything) ...the later¹ is probably closest to what you want, I think, as it will spit out deps. into a tree like format and then you can browse it. ¹ http://fedorapeople.org/~james/yum/commands/pkg-deps-tree-view.py -- James Antill <jantill@xxxxxxxxxx> Red Hat -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
