.SH "NAME"
build\-rdeps \- find packages that depend on a specific package to build (reverse build depends)
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
\&\fBbuild-rdeps\fR \fIpackage\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBbuild-rdeps\fR searches for all packages that build-depend on the specified package.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
.IP "\fB\-u\fR, \fB\-\-update\fR" 4
.IX Item "-u, --update"
Run apt-get update before searching for build-depends.
.IP "\fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-sudo\fR" 4
.IX Item "-s, --sudo"
Use sudo when running apt-get update. Has no effect if \-u is omitted.
.IP "\fB\-\-distribution\fR" 4
.IX Item "--distribution"
Select another distribution, which is searched for build-depends.
.IP "\fB\-\-only\-main\fR" 4
.IX Item "--only-main"
Ignore contrib and non-free
.IP "\fB\-\-exclude\-component\fR" 4
.IX Item "--exclude-component"
Ignore the given component (e.g. main, contrib, non-free).
.IP "\fB\-\-origin\fR" 4
.IX Item "--origin"
Restrict the search to only the specified origin (such as \*(L"Debian\*(R").
.IP "\fB\-m\fR, \fB\-\-print\-maintainer\fR" 4
.IX Item "-m, --print-maintainer"
Print the value of the maintainer field for each package.
.IP "\fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-debug\fR" 4
.IX Item "-d, --debug"
Run the debug mode
.IP "\fB\-\-help\fR" 4
.IX Item "--help"
Show the usage information.
.IP "\fB\-\-version\fR" 4
.IX Item "--version"
Show the version information.
.SH "REQUIREMENTS"
.IX Header "REQUIREMENTS"
The tool requires apt Sources files to be around for the checked components.
In the default case this means that in /var/lib/apt/lists files need to be
around for main, contrib and non-free.
.PP
In practice this means one needs to add one deb-src line for each component,
e.g.
.PP
deb-src http://<mirror>/debian <dist> main contrib non-free
.PP
and run apt-get update afterwards or use the update option of this tool.
