NAME

       xdpkg-checkbuilddeps - check whether a package's build dependencies are fulfilled

SYNOPSIS

       xdpkg-checkbuilddeps [-B] [-p package ]

DESCRIPTION

       xdpkg-checkbuilddeps  reads the debian/xcontrol (or debian/control, if the former does not
       exist), and tests whether the packages mentioned in the Build-Depends, Build-Depends-Tools
       and Build-Depends-Indep are currently fulfilled.

OPTIONS

       The  -B  option  specifies  that  the Build-Depends-Indep field should be ignored, as only
       architecture-dependent packages will be built.

       The -p option allows you to  query  the  per-package  build-dependencies  for  a  specific
       package. If no -p options are given, all non-optional non-bootstrap packages are selected.

SEE ALSO

       xcontrol(1).
