"apt-cache show <package>" and look at the "Depends:" line or just:
"apt-cache depends <package>"
If you want to know the dependencies so you can install a package on a
system with no net access you should just run: "sudo apt-get
--print-uris install <package>", that will print out the URLs of all the
packages you need as well as the file name you need to save them as in
/var/cache/apt/archives/
