RHEL 4: Find up2date command module / library dependencies

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It is important to note that the up2date command is no longer available on newer versions of RHEL, as it has been replaced by the yum package manager.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.
