Hi,
Well, since APT came along, the emphasis on and interest in
pkg-order have waned. pkg-order uses tsort, which does not handle
circular dependencies well. Since dpkg and apt break the loop and
have no problems with circular dependencies, loops have crept into
the dependency graph.

I don't know of a direct way to do this. 'dpkg -I' requires the
presence of the actual *.deb file, and it won't tell you what packages
depend on that package. The dpkg
dpkg -I gives you all the info on a package. It will tell you what a
package depends on. If you have a package it is not as easy to find out
what depends on it. The easiest way is to use dselect. unselect the
package and it will tell you if anything needs it. Then just select the
package again

I know that you can do the reverse (check which packages a package depends
on) using dpkg --info
