Directly - I don't think so. But I haven't checked for any indirect
dependencies (like some Qubes tools require X and X require one of
those).
Also you haven't specified whether it's about dom0 or VM.

Here is a quick hack to answer this kind of question.

$ cat ./qubes_requires

#!/bin/bash
PACKAGES=`rpm -qa | grep -i qubes`
REQUIRED=`repoquery --requires --recursive --resolve $PACKAGES 2>&1`
for pkg in "$@"
do
ANS=`echo $REQUIRED | grep -c $pkg`
if [ $ANS -gt 0 ] ; then
echo $pkg yes
else
echo $pkg no
fi
done

% ./qubes_requires cdparanoia cdrdao dvd+rw-tools enca
cdparanoia yes
cdrdao no
dvd+rw-tools no
enca yes

You just need to supply a longer list of packages to get the full
answer, and be careful of short package names that might be a substring
of other longer package names.

Hi Marek,

By saying Qubes I mean dom0, because that is Qubes in my mind, where the guests are not Qubes, they are guests.

Thanks Steve, I'll look into that most definitely.
