According to the title that.



Solution like this one:
apt-cache rdepends packagename



Does list all the reverse package. Although most of the packages in the list I do not have in my system installed. Example:



apt-cache rdepends python-gpgme
python-gpgme

Reverse Depends:
python-bzrlib
bzr
python-gpgme:i386
nautilus-dropbox
assword
alot
python-gpgme-dbg
python-bzrlib
bzr


I do not have bzr, nautilus, alot, and others installed.



So, what is the correct command to find out the list of installed dependent package to that "target" package?



I need to know if python-gpgme is OKAY to purge.

You can also do:



sudo dpkg -s <package_name> | grep Depends


For example:



sudo dpkg -s bcmwl-kernel-source | grep Depends 
Depends: dkms, linux-libc-dev, libc6-dev
