The **depends** option shows a listing of each dependency a package has and all the possible other packages that can fulfill that dependency.

<code bash>
apt depends [package name]
</code>

----

===== Example =====

<code bash>
apt depends sudo
</code>

returns:

<code bash>
sudo
  Depends: libaudit1 (>= 1:2.2.1)
  Depends: libc6 (>= 2.34)
  Depends: libpam0g (>= 0.99.7.1)
  Depends: libselinux1 (>= 3.1~)
  Depends: zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.0.2)
  Depends: libpam-modules
  Depends: lsb-base
  Conflicts: sudo-ldap
  Replaces: sudo-ldap
</code>

----

</code>
