I try use in "rpm --requires pkg.rpm" but I get the help of rpm.

How do I get list of which packages one rpm depend on?

rpm -q --requires
is what you need. You got the help because you missed the "-q"

But then I get:

Code:

    Useage: pm [-f] [-i] WAVE_FILE_NAME PM_FILE_NAME
        -f      Remake LPC analysis even if the files already exist.
        -i      Invert the waveform first.
        -d      Write intermediate results to help finding
                good parameter values

acording to that output, you tried to run the command "pm" instead of "rpm"

nadavvin · 01-04-2007, 01:05 AM

you right sorry .

But then I get:

Code:

package /var/cache/apt/archives/perl-XML-XSLT_0.48-1.2.el4.rf_noarch.rpm is not installed

Okay. Is this a mistake? Is this rpm installed or are you trying to find out what it needs before you install. If you do not have it installed, try giving rpm the absolute file location of the rpm, if you didn't before.

why not 1st do a rpm -qa

if it aint on that list then it aint installed via rpm.

I give absolute position.

I want to do it to rpm which is not installed.

I want to try to build simple rpm management

or in nice word I want to create a recursive installed method.

rpm -qa only list installed packages.

Is it impossible to do it????

I'm not really sure why rpm -q --requires isn't working. Can you post your exact command and it's output?

If it's not installed you need the "-p" switch:

Code:

rpm -qp --requires perl-XML-XSLT-0.48-1.2.el4.rf.noarch.rpm
/usr/bin/perl  
perl(Carp)  
perl(Cwd)  
perl(File::Basename)  
perl(Getopt::Std)  
perl(LWP::Simple)  
perl(URI)  
perl(XML::DOM) >= 1.25
perl(XML::XSLT)  
perl(constant)  
perl(strict)  
perl(vars)  
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1

I want to try to build simple rpm management
I wonder what's so bad about the other RPM package management tools it forces you to try and reinvent the wheel again instead of joining a devteam of choice.
