Comments on Checking Package Dependencies with apt-rdepends on Debian and Ubuntu
This guide shows how you can check the dependencies of a package with the tool apt-rdepends on Debian and Ubuntu systems. The great thing about apt-rdepends is that it resolves dependencies recursively, i.e., not only does it show the direct dependencies of a package, but also the dependencies' dependencies. This is great, for example, if you want to rebuild a package from the sources, etc.

No need to install apt-rdepends, there is a command that you can use with some extra arguments (dpkg-query maybe or something), but I forgot which one it is.
