There are websites that list dependencies for various programs as well,
though I can't site any url's at the moment. Maybe something like
rpmfind? I know I've been to sites that list dependencies in connection
with rpm's, anyway. Debian sites should have this sort of information as
well, since they have a huge database of program dependencies that works
in conjunction with the apt-get package management system. It may be
difficult to find such dependency lists for older programs, though.
