 predictably, cronie-anacron requires cronie, that part's easy.
however, if i check to see what "requires" cronie-anacron on my fedora
20 system, i see:

# rpm -q --whatrequires cronie-anacron
no package requires cronie-anacron
#

 normally, i'd interpret that to mean that i can remove that package
independently of anything else. but if i try, i get a list of 35
packages that would be removed due to dependencies, including cronie
itself.

 why is that? what command do i run to see that obvious dependency?
thanks.

The dependency may be on a file or a "provides" provided by cronie-anacron. If you look at the yum output, the first dependency added to the remove list is probably a good place to start. You can look at what that package requires.
