Ok, I missed that one.  Using 'rpm -qp package-mdk.i586.rpm' works.
And using 'rpm -qpR package-mdk.i586.rpm' gives me dependent files.
However, if a file is missing, how do you know what package to get ?

I was trying to upgrade to Netscape 4.74, I downloaded the files plus
RPM-*.rpm files from cooker list.  Trying to install RPM-*, it wanted
libbz2.so.1 which I recall from this list was bzip-*.rpm. Got that but
then current version of ImageMagick-5_2_1-*.rpm complained.  Got the
latest ImageMagick-5_2_2-*.rpm, uninstalled old version, tried to install
new one.  It now complains about

[root@home /test]# rpm -Uvh ImageMagick-5_2_2-6mdk_i586.rpm    
error: failed dependencies:
        libdps.so.1 is needed by ImageMagick-5.2.2-6mdk
        libdpstk.so.1 is needed by ImageMagick-5.2.2-6mdk
[root@home /test]# locate libdps.so.1
[root@home /test]# 

I saw nothing like libdps-* or dps-* on cooker, so how do I know what
package is required to satisfy ImageMagick-5_2_2-6mdk_i586.rpm ?

Thanks... Dan.
