              Specify target packages-file.  If this option  is  used  multiple  times,  packages
              lists  are  appended.   If  no  -t  option  specified, default is current installed
              packages list, that is, /var/lib/dpkg/status.

              name, or all of them by --all option.

       -A
       --all  Select all packages in source packages-file.  You must use this option with  --from
              option.

       -a arch
       --arch arch
              Specify  acceptable arch in packages-file.  Default is installation_architecture of
              dpkg.

EXAMPLES

         %  dpkg-checkdeps.rb  --arch  alpha        --to   '*/binary-$ARCH/Packages'       --from

BUGS

       There are probably tons of bugs in this program.

       This  checks  only  depends,  recommends  and  suggests,  doesn't  check  pre-depends  and
       conflicts, yet.

       This program comes with no warranties.  If running this program causes fire and  brimstone
       to rain down upon the earth, you will be on our own.
