CentOS - Nov 2011 - vertify which software for missing dependenies

Hi,

 I'm trying to install RPM package Adobe Reader on  Centos 6. I did a rpm
-test -ivh on the package and it says it needs dependencies (many)
 Is a there a command to verify which  exact  packages it requires so I wont be
installing software blindly.

"yum localinstall packagename" will give you a list of what it
requires but
since it won't recognize the signature on the acroread rpm it won't
actually
install anything.  You can then "yum install" everything needed from
the list
that it generates.

Or you can install the adobe repository rpm and then just do "yum install
packagename" and that will download and install everything for you.

You also might want to reconsider using acroread.  I've found that the
evince
pdf reader that comes with Centos 6 is really good.
