As a last ressort, you can always consult the search engine
at
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages (-> Search Package
Directories)
This interface will list all dependencies. Even if you
don't download
the packages from there (apt is certainly more
convenient), it might
be helpfull as a means of orientation, especially if
you're still
exploring the load of packages which are available.
--------------------
Make apt a higher priority. I was just like you, not
wanting to bother with apt, until I couldn't get my
~.xsession read. After asking on this list, I found that I needed cpio
installed.
