Oops, Got it backwards, mustn't have had enough coffee yet. 

You can use -requires to see the dependencies of the package that you want to 
see will be affected by the upgrade or not and -provides (jnstead of 
-requires) on the package you are upgrading to see if that package provides 
any of the files that the other depends on.
