Revision history [back]

The dependencies of one package are all the other packages needed to build, execute or test the package of interest.

If you are writing and compiling a package, you would need to install the packages listed in the dependencies or clone and compile them.

If you are talking about a released packaged (debian file) the dependencies are the other debian files that will be automatically installed so you can properly run the package of interest.
