botch-y-u-b-d-transitive-essential1

Overview

Find the reasons why source packages are B-D transitive essential. Assumes that Architecture:all packages need not be bootstrapped. Operates on the strong dependency graph.

An optional package name as the last argument limits the output to that package.

Options

-h, --help

Display help.

-k, --keep

Keep the temporary files

-T, --timers

time all program executions

-o, --output=DIR

Output directory. Default is the current directory

-t, --tmp=DIR

Temporary directory. Default is created by mktemp(1)

-v, --verbose

Be more verbose

-d, --debug

Maximum verbosity

-D, --develop

Execute tools from the source checkout instead of $PATH

Examples

To find out why src:sysvinit is b-d-transitive-essential, run:

 botch-y-u-b-d-transitive-essential amd64 Packages Sources sysvinit

Edges from installation sets to source packages (builds-from relationships) can be hard to diagnose. You can use dose-ceve to create a graph that doesn't condense binary packages to their installation sets. This has the disadvantage that also non-strong dependencies are also included.
