Hmm, interesting. Will try it in a moment.
Is there any way to find dependency packages using up2date? eg
[root@plain download]# rpm -Uvh purp-1.1.0-1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
libdb-3.1.so is needed by purp-1.1.0-1
librpmio.so.0 is needed by purp-1.1.0-1
librpm.so.0 is needed by purp-1.1.0-1
A quick way to find where libdb is from (presumably librpm is from rpm-devel?)
Any other suggestions on text mode package managers?
Ed
