Having said that it would be a certain amount of work, I guess I couldn't
resist doing it. It wasn't bad, really. I did it for all the RPM packages
that came with SuSE 7.0, but it should work just as well with SLES7. I'll
send the list of dependencies to whomever wants it, and to Rich off list.
It's about 23K uncompressed.
First, get a list of all the RPM packages on your installation media. I
used my LCDS system, and mounted the .iso images on loopback devices to get
/mnt/cd1, /mnt/cd2, and /mnt/cd3.
cd /mnt
find . -name "*.rpm" | grep -v "full-names" | sort -k 5,5 -t/ > ~/rpm.list
Then, query each package and process the output:
for pkg in `cat ~/rpm.list`
do base=`basename $pkg`
echo -n Package $base": " >> ~/rpm.dep.list
rpm -qRp $pkg | sed -e '/\//d' -e '/^lib.*so*/d' -e '/ld.so.1/d' | \
sed -e ': top' -e'{N;s%\n%%;}' -e 'b top' >> ~/rpm.dep.list
echo >>~/rpm.dep.list
done
sed -e '/^$/d' -e 's/ / /g' -e 's/ $//' ~/rpm.dep.list > ~/dep.list
The various sed commands do things like remove program names, e.g.,
/bin/bash, library names such as libc.so.whatever, and put all the
dependencies for any package all on one line. In part, the output looks
like this:
Package dump.rpm:
Package dvi2tty.rpm:
Package dviutils.rpm: tetex
Package dx.rpm: mesa lesstif tcsh
Package dxdata.rpm: dx
Package dxdoc.rpm: dx
Package eazy.rpm: gdbm
Package eb.rpm:
Package ebdev.rpm: eb = 2.3.8
Package eblook.rpm: eb
Package econf.rpm:

Subject: Determining dependencies
When installing SLES7 and having picked a configuration. If a package is
de-selected from that configuration a dependencies dialog will come up
indicating that other packages depend on it. How does one go about
determining which package(s) depend upon a deleted package? The F2 (info)
screen is no help, it just tells me what I already know.
