Yum (in the default incarnation) requires that you press a "Y" for yes to proceed with the transaction. It will do all the dependency calcs and present a list of things needed, but not install if you select NO. Also, you can just use some of the yum switches to get a deplist ... like: yum deplist <pkg_name> or lastly, you can use reqoquery that is part of yum-utils (after installing the yum-utils package, do man repoquery). SO .. there is no dry run for yum specifically, but depending on what you really want, there are several alternatives. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
