What will this do to rpms that depend on the mysql-3.23 rpm?
For that matter, how do I determine what depends on a package? I did a
"man yum" and a "man rpm", but I didn't see what I was looking for (I
did find the reverse). Is there a good way to determine in advance what
a "yum remove" will do without having it actually remove a package and
all packages that depend on it?
Thanks for your help.
