Does anyone know the command for checking dependencies of a program

rpm -q --requires packagename
That tells you what a package depends on, not what packages depend on
it.

True. I meant rpm -q --whatrequires packagename . Though I've had odd
experiences where this command hasn't returned everything it should have.
