 As a last ressort, you can always consult the search engine
 at
  
  http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages (-> Search Package
  Directories)
   
   This interface will list all dependencies. Even if you
   don't download
   the packages from there (apt is certainly more
   convenient), it might
   be helpfull as a means of orientation, especially if
   you're still
   exploring the load of packages which are available.
                                                                                                              --------------------
Make apt a higher priority.  I was just like you, not
wanting to bother with apt, until I couldn't get my
~.xsession read.  After asking on this list, I found that I needed cpio installed.
