Yes, but what happens when the <newpackage> is not available via an up2date repository on the internet? Does the above command still work?
I should have been more specific in my original post: I am a software developer and will be releasing .rpm packages that may or may not get updated in a general package/up2date/yum repo; please presume that my .rpm package will only be downloadable as a single file via a 'wget' acquisition. I want my users/installers of this package to be able to automatically acquire and install my .rpm-package dependencies via yum/up2date/something-else.
Is there a way to do this? I'm looking for solutions for both Fedora and Redhat/RHEL.

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.
