Repository – A suite of tools for manipulating debian packages
Repository is a suite of tools for manipulating debian packages. At a high level, dep-find generates a dependency list for use with dep-symbol and dep-src. I have also created a script, dep-all.sh, that chains the use of all three scripts together.
This tool builds a dependency graph of the debian packages cached by apt. I have incluced the files direct.txt and transitive.txt which show the direct and transitive dependencies for debian packages respectively.
You can grab a dependency list for a package with:
which will create a file PACKAGE.dep in the current working directory. This can then be feed into dep-symbols. For example, ./dep-find.py -p wget will get the dependencies for wget and create wget.dep.
You might also find it useful to search for dependecies and packages with apt:
