Re: apt showing all dependencies?



Speaking of which, is there a way to *edit* packages dependencies?

I'm thinking of gallery here, who depends on php4, php4-cgi and libapache(2)-mod-php4 -- but works flawlessly with php5 and php5-cgi...

apt-cache will show the dependencies for a particular package, but it doesn't show the dependencies of those dependencies.
If I get your meaning, apt-rdepends is the package you want:

caution, huge output ahead.
You can also get a "view" of this dependency by apt-get. It can generate a
dependency graph for you. But mind you, it is huge too. :-)
