For both Red Hat and SuSE, is there a way to identify all the pre- and
co-req patches required by (say,) a particular security patch?  I mean,
other than doing so the hard way, by "hand", so to speak.

For z/VM I'd merely ask IBM to ship me the fix, and any pre-, co-, or
if-reqs.  I'm looking for something similar for Linux.  I realize that
the various "online update" tools will do this for me, but there are
reasons I need to pre-fetch and "stage" on local disk a particular
patch.  And I'd like to be certain that I've pre-staged any requisite
fixes too.
