Nur zur Info dazu aus einer anderen Mail von mir:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note that stuff like "rpm -q --whatrequires <something>"
does not show all package dependencies because this shows
only the dependencies regarding the exact RPM
capability <something>.

Only "rpm -e --test <package>" shows you all other packages
which depend on package.

An example (on SLED11-SP1 with some additionally installed packages):

# rpm -q --whatrequires cdrkit-cdrtools-compat
no package requires cdrkit-cdrtools-compat

# rpm -e --test cdrkit-cdrtools-compat
error: Failed dependencies:
cdrecord is needed by (installed) nautilus-cd-burner-2.25.3-3.1.179.i586
mkisofs is needed by (installed) zisofs-tools-1.0.6-138.22.i586
/usr/bin/mkisofs is needed by (installed) rear-SUSE-0.1.beta2-1.5.1.noarch

# rpm -q --whatrequires cdrecord
nautilus-cd-burner-2.25.3-3.1.179

# rpm -q --whatrequires mkisofs
zisofs-tools-1.0.6-138.22

# rpm -q --whatrequires /usr/bin/mkisofs
rear-SUSE-0.1.beta2-1.5.1
