SYNOPSIS

       reverse-depends [options] package

DESCRIPTION

       List  reverse-dependencies (or build-dependencies) of package.  If the package name is prefixed with src:
       then the reverse-dependencies of all the binary packages that the specified source package builds will be
       listed.

OPTIONS

       -r RELEASE, --release=RELEASE
              Query dependencies in RELEASE.  Default: current development release.

       -R, --without-recommends

       -s, --with-suggests
              Also consider Suggests relationships.

       -b, --build-depends
              Query build dependencies.  Synonym for --arch=source.

       -a ARCH, --arch=ARCH
              Query  dependencies  in ARCH.  Besides valid architecture names, the special values any and source
              may be used.  any displays all reverse dependencies, the union across  all  architecture.   source
              displays build dependencies.  Default: any.

       -c COMPONENT, --component=COMPONENT
              Only  consider  reverse-dependencies  in COMPONENT. Can be specified multiple times.  Default: all
