apt-cache depends psmisc produces the list of packages that psmisc needs to function. apt-cache rdepends psmisc produces the list of packages that need psmisc to be installed first. -dsr-
Dan, Thank you for your prompt and precise response. Your expertise has significantly clarified a few misconceptions I had. As you accurately noted, the misapplication of the apt-cache command enumerated the packages that require psmisc as a prerequisite, instead of the dependencies required by psmisc to function. Your swift assistance has been invaluable. I also could have done the same with aptitude search ~R to list reverse dependencies and aptitude search ~D to list dependencies Onward and upward. -- yassine -- sysadm +213-779 06 06 23 http://about.me/ychaouche Looking for side gigs.
