NAME

       dose-challenged - detect broken packages due to obsolete dependencies

SYNOPSIS

       dose-challenged [options] Packages file(s)

DESCRIPTION

       dose-challenged performs a speculative analysis of the repository to identify those
       packages that, if upgraded to a specific version, would break a large number of other
       packages in the repository. This tool would be particularly useful during the upgrade of a
       specific component to evaluate its impact on the software archive.

Input Specification

       The input of dose-challenged is a list of Debian Packages files

Output Specification

       The output of dose-challenged is in the yaml format.

Options

       -b --broken
               Print the list of broken packages

       -d --downgrade
               Check package downgrades

       -c      Print the list of packages in a cluster

       --checkonly
               Select a subset of packages to check. By default all packages are checked.

       -v      Enable info / warnings / debug messages. This option may be repeated up to three
               times in order to increase verbosity.

       --progress
               Enable progress bars.

       -h, --help
               Display this list of options.
