Another interesting point to note is that 95% of that 97% you will be able to get by with using just 'urpmi foo-devel' because of things like this: [todd@fiji ~/RPM/SRPMS]$ rpm -q --whatprovides ncurses-devel libncurses5-devel-5.2-27mdk So you could type 'urpmi ncurses-devel' and it will know that the package it needs to install that provides that is libncurses5-devel.
