    I'm afraid I have no info on how to check if the package is in use, but for the uninstallation procedure please check https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6529256 (there I see no mention to any dependencies from or on this specific package) I hope this helps!

    Further to Victor's post above, I can confirm that no other MQ installation packages depend on the MQSeriesBCBridge package, and so this package can be removed if it is not required, without impacting other MQ install packages.

    The complete set of MQ Linux RPM packages, along with any dependencies they have on other MQ packages is documented here: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ibm-mq/9.2?topic=rpm-mq-components-linux-systems
