[Yum] "update --dry-run" equivalent output from yum or yum-utils?

[jimjcollins at comcast.net]

I don't think "check-update" does the dependency resolution to determine if any additional, potentially uninstalled,  packages need to be pulled in to satisfactorily install the listed update packages.

Or perhaps "check-update" does the dependency resolution but is not announcing that behavoir in its output as is done for the "yum update" command?

The yum man page makes no mention of "check-update" doing the dependency resolution, seems to be indicating that only the list of update packages will be output.
