Hi Mukund ;)
this asking a bit too much. The individual packages have info regarding
what all packages it needs, not in which rpms those are in turn available.
And any rpm that you chose to install updates the database in your machine
with the details. So rpm_s which you havent installed will not have an
entry.
one way would be to have something like
for name in `rpm -qR <your package>`
do
for name2 in `*.rpm` # in the directory containing uninstalled rpms
do
for name3 in `rpm -qpl $name2
do
if [ "$name3" = "$name1" ]
then
echo -e "2 $name2"
fi
done
done
done
but on the more practical side, the pages in rpmfind.net have a "requires"
section, in which each dependency is a link to the rpm which provides the
functionality.
