As usual with pkg_add(1), there is already more than one way how it does roughly what you want: $ pkg_info -f mutt | grep ^@depend $ pkg_info -S mutt Sure, those handle indirect dependencies in a sligtly different way than +REQUIRED_BY. But there is value in keeping option proliferation at bay. Yours, Ingo
