From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040430 Description of problem: It would be nice if I could install a local rpm with yum and have the dependencies resolved automatically from remote repositories. Then, instead of: rpm -Uvh foobar.rpm (error, dependencies not met) fetch dependencies rpm -Uvh dependencies foobar.rpm (error, dependencies not met) fetch moredependencies rpm -Uvh moredependencies dependencies foobar.rpm one would do: yum install ./foobar.rpm (all dependecies resolved from the configured repositories)
it's something that will be worked on in a future release. It's filed in yum's bugzilla so I'm closing it here.
