Steven Penny e9bea37b95 depends: find-like output when dealing with package dependency woes, such as http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-10/msg00563.html The current "depends" tree method fails, because it only shows the packages, not the dependency paths. These paths are necessary to solve the "shortest path problem" http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Shortest_path_problem Now, every possible dependency path will print from the chosen package. Combined with category search you can run searches such as apt-cyg category Base \| apt-cyg depends \| awk '/perl$/ {print length,$0}' \| sort -n Solving the path problem in seconds.		2014-11-11 03:15:24 -06:00
