Is there any way (either with yum, rpm, or their backend modules) to provide a
list of packages and groups and get back the actual dependency list that
would need to be installed?
For instance, say I have a redhat system with only the 'base', 'core', and
'admin-tools' groups installed (via kickstart and yum). Then someone comes
along and installs the 'fortune' package (which isn't already installed, and
which I don't want). I want to generate a list of all the rpms that *should*
be installed, given my requirements, and compare that to the current list so
I can remove the extraneous packages.
Thanks
