Ik keep struggling when I try to find out dependencies once in a while.

Suppose I have this installed:

  postfix @3.7.2_0+dovecot_sasl+pcre+smtputf8+tls (active)

How do I find out the port dependencies with the port command such that port tells me my postfix depends on port:pcre?


# port rdeps postfix @3.7.2_0+dovecot_sasl+pcre+smtputf8+tls
The following ports are dependencies of postfix @3.7.3_0+dovecot_sasl+pcre+smtputf8+tls:
  pcre
    bzip2
    libedit
      ncurses
    zlib
      xz
        gettext
          libiconv
            gperf
          libtextstyle
          gettext-runtime
          gettext-tools-libs
  icu
  openssl
    openssl3


OR, if you want something that doesn't require you to know the variants:

# port rdeps `port -q installed postfix|cut -d'(' -f1`
The following ports are dependencies of postfix @3.7.3_0+dovecot_sasl+pcre+smtputf8+tls:
  pcre
    bzip2
    libedit
      ncurses
    zlib
      xz
        gettext
          libiconv
            gperf
          libtextstyle
          gettext-runtime
          gettext-tools-libs
  icu
  openssl
    openssl3
