I'm assuming that if I use repoclosure with the system's yum
configuration, it tells me what it can't resolve just like when I would
yum install the package with missing dependencies -so correct me if I'm
wrong to assume that:
A random example from repoclosure:
# repoclosure -c /etc/yum.conf -a i386 -n
[...snip...]
package: dkms - 2.0.16-1.fc7.noarch from fedora
unresolved deps:
kernel-devel
[...snip...]
# yum install dkms
[...snip...]
Installing:
dkms noarch 2.0.16-1.fc7 fedora 84 k
Installing for dependencies:
kernel-devel i686 2.6.22.1-41.fc7 updates 4.7 M
[...snip...]
I'm not sure where it differs, but apparently repoclosure does some
things different from yum, as I'm sure this ugly depchecker does too.
