    } I thinks he means he wants to see a dependency tree. apt-get show <pkg>
    } will show the first level dependencies, but not further down. I imagine
    } that some scripting could be used to solve this.

    I missed the OP, but would apt-cache dotty <pkg> be what you're looking
    for? I've used it, and it gives a decent tree. You'll need the graphviz
    package to look at it, however.
