Hi, i develop a small rpm-frontend in java. The main feature is to check if a package could be installed without the requirement to download it first. I find out that a "rpm -qpR ftp://package.xyz.rpm" (or rpm -qp --queryformat) tell us the requirements of a package without downloading it. The output is like: susefax-1.0beta3-432.i586.rpm jre1.1.x /bin/sh rpmlib(PayloadIsBzip2) <= 3.0.5-1 But i find no rpm command that checks if this deps are satisfied. a "rpm --whatprovides xyz" only accept package names and no input like"rpmlib(PayloadIsBzip2)". But i think that rpm can do it and I'm only to stupid to do it.
