rpmgraph shows you the runtime dependencies that are in the rpm. Notably,
rpmbuild does not figure out shell script dependencies, so that is missing.
(But it could with a little work by scanning installed packages for shell
scripts and running bash --rpm-requires $TARGET).
I also wrote a utility for the rookery build system that captures the build
time dependencies suitable for graphing which is a little different than
runtime. This was to allow analysis of code or subsystem changes to see what
might be affected.
