Dear Maintainer,

this happends with Red hat Enterprise Linux 7, so the Versions listet below are not correct.

/usr/sbin/install_packages -Lv runs on error:
install_packages: executing  yum -y install -s at gcc perl ...
...
Command line error: no such option: -s


At line 203 in https://github.com/faiproject/fai/blob/master/bin/install_packages
a '-s' is used to '--simulate' the package install, which is only for apt-get
but give an error for other package management tool, like yum.

Do you know if there's a similar option for yum or dnf?

I think '--assumeno' can used to simulate.

I tried:
	yum -y install --assumeno yum-plugin-versionlock
And the is not installed

For yum this could help:

yum -y update --setopt tsflags=test
yum deplist <package>
