[Rpm-maint] rpm feature

[Greg_Swift at aotx.uscourts.gov]

While, not always getting package names, I've always just done something
like this with just rpm:

rpm -e --test <package>

Yum will give you the package names I believe:

yum remove <package>

But, tell it no if it asks.

Greetings all,
Is there a way to query the database to list the packages
that depend on a given package?
I checked the man page, and I do  not see such an option.
I see the option --requires, which is great - but would like the
converse of --requires,  such as: --required_by

Best regards,

JD
