Hi all,
I would like to know which command(s) to use for viewing what dependencies a RPM package needs before installing it. Thanks in advance for the help.
I've tried:
rpm -R packagename.rpm but it didn't work.
rpm -qpR < package.rpm > requires to have previously downloaded the package or at least provided the full link.
Example : rpm -qpR http://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/fedora.redhat.com/fedora/linux/updates/22/x86_64/g/gimp-2.8.14-3.fc22.x86_64.rpm
The easiest way is to use dnf repoquery --requires < package >
Example : dnf repoquery --requires gimp
You could always use the rpm --test option.
rpm --help
--test don't install, but tell if it would work or not
Example:
rpm -i --test mypackage.rpm
rpm -iv --test "http://mirror.pnl.gov/fedora/linux/development/23/x86_64/os/Packages/0/0install-2.6.1-6.fc23.x86_64.rpm"
Its a query command, so you need to use -q
rpm -qpR {.rpm-file}
or
rpm -qR {package}
So you what you need is rpm -qpR packagename.rpm
