Well, not really. Up2date will solve dependencies for packages it is
attempting to update.
You can install the rpmdb-redhat package, which allows you to query a
database of all packages available for the release. It's quite useful for
tracking down the package that contains ${file}. The drawback is that it
contains info only on packages included with the release. It doesn't get
update when packages get added/updated. You can of course add the
information about additional/upgraded packages to the database.
[root@enigma root]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Linux release 7.2 (Enigma)
[root@enigma root]# rpm -qa | grep rpmdb
rpmdb-redhat-7.2-0.20010924
[root@enigma root]# rpm -q --redhatprovides libdb-3.1.so
db31-3.1.17-1
Quite useful. See both 'man rpm', and 'rpm --help' for more details.
Good info is also available from:
