Your question is not clear. -qR will list every single dependency. A
depedency may or may not correspond to the name of an RPM, because an
RPM can provide other dependencies than its own name. (Example, on my
system "rpm -q --provides wget" lists "wget", "webclient" and
"webfetch".) Some other RPM package might only require "webfetch" and
not wget at all.

If you're on Mandriva, "urpmq -d" might help, although I'm not sure to
have understood your real problem.
