Often when people report bugs, they include something like this:
Versions of packages dpkg depends on:
ii libc6 2.1.3-7 GNU C Library: Shared
libraries an
ii libncurses5 5.0-6 Shared libraries for terminal
hand
ii libstdc++2.10 1:2.95.2-7 The GNU stdc++ library
I can't believe that they typed all that in by hand; I want to believe
that there is a handy tool which, when invoked like this
$ handy-tool dpkg
emits the output that I see above. But I know of no such tool; the
closest thing I've found is pkg-order.
How do they do it?
