    how to find out all dependency packages?

    Hi,

    I have one computer that is NOT connected to the internet. When trying to install a specific package manually (downloaded from internet using another PC), say vlc, it failed due to several dependent packages were not installed on the system. Is there a way to find out all dependency files of certain package so that I can download all of them together? Thanks!

    Assuming the other computer has rpm on it you could use

    rpm -qpR thefile.rpm

    This will tell all that is required but not if the requirements are met.

    You could install by Yast command line

    yast2 --install thefile.rpm

    This would attempt to resolve things. Note not all packages are installed with a default install of Suse. Often package conflicts can be resolved from the DVD/CDs

    Hope that helps

    Thanks a lot for the answer "again"!

    the "rpm -qpR file.rpm" command is exactly what I needed.
