So, in my view: %r[nov] Expands to the list of reverse dependencies for the matched package, where n stands for the package name, o for the package origin, and v for the package version. needs an update to be explicit about what bapt reported: QUOTE pkg query shows directement dependencies aka hardcoded dependencies, while pkg also handle dependencies based on share libraries . . . END QUOTE Similarly pkg info -r needs to be more explicit about it being based on both direct dependencies and shared library dependencies: -r, --required-by Display the list of packages which require pkg-name. As stands, just reading the existing man pages, such distinctions are far from clear. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
