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.
But i find no rpm command that checks if this deps are satisfied.
Try: rpm -U --test ftp://package.xyz.rpm
There still could be package dependent checking in the package's %pre scriptlet that would cause a real install to fail, but this comes as close as having the package downloaded.
However, I have no idea if any of the URL commands only read the package header over the wire. You may be doing a full download in the background.
