That doesn't seem to be how you're supposed to do it. I'm reading Create the graph (with no package given all packages in the cache are graphed): apt-cache dotty apache2 > apache-dependency-graph.dot Visualize the graph: dot -Tpng apache-dependency-grap.dot But there's still too much stuff in there maybe to be legible. DW suggests a restriction of the graph to only the packages given on the command line. apt-cache -o APT::Cache::GivenOnly=1 dotty apache2 apache2-common (etc.). http://www.macfreek.nl/memory/Dependency_Graph_Debian_Packages
