On my Pentium 166MHz, the following command took about 10s (real) to
run, with devscripts (>= 2.6.90) installed:
polya:~ $ perl -I/usr/share/devscripts -MDevscripts::PackageDeps -e
'$pkgs=new Devscripts::PackageDeps("/var/lib/dpkg/status"); print
join("\n",$pkgs->full_dependencies("build-essential")),"\n"'
perl-modules
cpp
libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2
[...]
binutils
libstdc++2.10-dev
make
polya:~ $
It could be easily modified to give the required output.
