Hi all, I am trying to find the exhaustive list of dependencies of a particular package (For example, package tomcat5_5.0.30-12etch1_all.deb) From what I have read so far, there seem to be many ways of doing this and I tried out the following, but find that the information is different in all, save a few common things.
1) apt-cache depends tomcat5 2) dpkg --info tomcat5_5.0.30-12etch1_all.deb (to view the Depends filed of the control file) 3) apt-get --download-only install tomcat5 (thinking that this will be the raw list of files which dpkg tries to install) Why is the output of dependency packages not consistent ? Or am I doing this wrongly ? I am really confused. Any pointers are greatly appreciated.
