Probably because I gave you the wrong command!

For example, for HAL, I need to know that the xml file is > $BOOK_DIR/general/sysutils/hal.xml. With the script above, you don't need to know each package's XML file. You could just pipe it through sed though, to just get the dependencies for a single package. Something like this gets you nearly there: $ xsltproc --xinclude dependencies.xsl \ /path/to/blfs-checkout/index.xml | sed -n '/^p: tetex$/,/^p:/p' p: tetex m: ed o: libpng o: x-window-system o: tk-perl p: jadetex (obviously you don't want that last line, but I couldn't figure out a way to omit that in sed quickly). My idea with that XSL script was to use its output to populate a sqlite database and from there it would build up a recursive chain of dependencies for any given package.
