Scenario:
I try to install an .rpm (via 'rpm -Uhv <newpackage.rpm>') and find
that required dependencies are missing.
Can I leverage some mechanism (yum, up2date, something else?) to
automatically download the missing package dependencies automatically
so that I don't have to?
Is there some switch to the rpm command line to do this?
The only other answer I know is to manually 'yum' each package
dependency listed from the 'rpm -Uhv <newpackage.rpm>' command.
Thanks for any help,

I'm not entirely sure, but I think you can perform "yum localinstall
packagename.rpm" and yum will automatically search for and take care of
the dependencies.
