我想了解更多关于给定包的实际安装情况（用于debugging目的）。
apt-cache的所有选项都只提供依赖包，也许是所需的版本，而不是这些版本的安装版本。
我知道制作脚本并不难，但我很想find一个现有的解决scheme（我确定我不是第一个做这个的！）
我有点困惑你的问题，因为我知道它使用rdepends实用程序应该告诉你你需要什么（这应该是在你的回应中使用的任何发行版），例如：
$ apt-rdepends bash Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done bash Depends: base-files (>= 2.1.12) Depends: debianutils (>= 2.15) PreDepends: libc6 (>= 2.7-1) PreDepends: libncurses5 (>= 5.6+20071006-3) base-files Depends: base-passwd (>= 2.0.3.4) PreDepends: awk ... 是什么显示为bash。
apt-get的“-s”选项会告诉你什么其他软件包将被安装到系统上安装一个特定的软件包，而不需要实际安装任何东西。 那是你在找什么？
