Se você precisar de um resultado personalizado, pode ser uma boa opção implementar um script para realizar essa tarefa usando python-apt :
import argparse
from itertools import chain
from collections import deque
import apt
def main(args):
packages_seen = set()
dependencies = deque()
def print_package(package):
print package.name, package.installedVersion
packages_seen.add(package.name)
or_dependencies = [dependency.or_dependencies
for dependency in package.installedDependencies]
dependencies.extend(chain.from_iterable(or_dependencies))
cache = apt.cache.Cache()
package = cache[args.package_name]
print_package(package)
while dependencies:
dependency = dependencies.popleft()
package_name = dependency.name
# Skip virtual packages
if package_name not in cache:
continue
if package_name not in packages_seen:
package = cache[dependency.name]
print_package(package)
if __name__ == '__main__':
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser('Print all package dependencies '
'and their installed version')
parser.add_argument('package_name', help='Package name')
args = parser.parse_args()
main(args)
