The depends script, and 'qpkg -q' (gentoolkit) both give you this, at least in |
| 7 |
as far as you can audit the reverse dependencies of the package you are about |
| 8 |
to remove or 'clean'. |

I find both useful; they present similar information, but in a different |
| 11 |
format. qpkg -q is great for tracing out the reverse depends of a particular |
| 12 |
package, while depends is great for getting an overall picture of what |
| 13 |
packages are missing their dependencies, if any. |
