How do I figure out which packages directly or indirectly depend on a

considered.
For example, if 'glib2' is the package in question, 'cairo',
'gdk-pixbuf', 'shared-mime-info', 'ImageMagick', etc. should be returned
as all those depend on 'glib2'.
Thank you.
This is really a question for ports@
One way would be to install databases/sqlports then run
'show-reverse-deps devel/glib2'
I thought Matthias was just asking for "pkg_info -R".

Almost. 'pkg_info -R' only returns direct dependents. In case of
'glib2', for example, 'ImageMagick' would not be found as its closest
dependency (in my case) is of 3rd degree:
glib2 <- shared-mime-info <- djvulibre <- ImageMagick
