The up2date
command is a utility that is used to update software packages on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) systems. It uses the Red Hat Network (RHN) to download and install updates and security patches.
To find the dependencies of a module or library when using the up2date
command on RHEL 4, you can use the --requires
option.
For example, to find the dependencies of the yum
module, you can use the following command:
up2date --requires yum
This will display a list of the dependencies of the yum
module, including any other modules or libraries that are required for it to function properly.
If you want to find the dependencies of a specific library, you can use the ldd
command to display the shared libraries that are required by the library.
For example, to find the dependencies of the libc.so.6
library, you can use the following command:
ldd /lib/libc.so.6
This will display a list of the shared libraries that are required by the libc.so.6
library.
It is important to note that the up2date
command is no longer available on newer versions of RHEL, as it has been replaced by the yum
package manager. If you are using a newer version of RHEL, you can use the yum
command to find the dependencies of modules or libraries.
For more information about the up2date
command and how to use it, you can consult the documentation for your specific version of RHEL.
