Finding package dependencies with zypper

English Applications
#1

Hi,

Is there a command that I can use to find out what are the dependencies of a given package.

Thanks,

H

This might help

zypper info <package-name>

Eg:

zypper info amarok

#3

This does not seem to contain the dependencies. For example:

$ zypper info libkde4-devel
Loading repository data…
Reading installed packages…

Information for package libkde4-devel:

Repository: @System

Arch: i586
Vendor: openSUSE
Installed: Yes
Status: up-to-date
Installed Size: 6.2 MiB
