Linux distribution: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.10 (Santiago)



Context:

I need to uninstall all old versions of Java in my server.

I have the list of java paths, example:



/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.201.b09-2.el6_10.x86_64/jre/bin/java


I can find the pacakage owning this file by:



rpm -qf /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.201.b09-2.el6_10.x86_64/jre/bin/java
java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless-1.8.0.201.b09-2.el6_10.x86_64


Now, how to find all packages depending on java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless-1.8.0.201.b09-2.el6_10.x86_64 , so that I can see whether it is safe to remove the package ?



Below command says no other packages depends on this openjdk package (Ref: Question-166343):



rpm -q --whatrequires java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless-1.8.0.201.b09-2.el6_10.x86_64
no package requires java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless-1.8.0.201.b09-2.el6_10.x86_64


But, mysql-connector-java depends on this package.

Reason: rpm --whatrequires option's argument is CAPABILITY provided by a package , not package name and searching using CAPABILITY is not straightforward.



Below command was also not returning any results:



repoquery --requires --resolve --recursive java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless-1.8.0.201.b09-2.el6_10.x86_64


So, is there any simple way to identify all rpm packages which depends on a particular package?


By package , I mean java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless-1.8.0.201.b09-2.el6_10.x86_64 (not java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless)

Try this,



Normally rpm -e doesn't uninstall a package if there are other packages that are dependent on this package [ of course --nodeps can be used to by pass this ]. As @JeffSchaller mentioned rpm -e can also be used in conjunction with --test to see if there are any error: Failed dependencies:



--test Don’t really uninstall anything, just go through the motions. Useful in conjunction with the -vv option for debugging.


rpm -e -vv <package_name> -- check for error: Failed dependencies:



or



rpm -e -vv --test <package_name> -- check for error: Failed dependencies:
