Is there a fast way of getting all packages that are needed by a specific package?
I tried to install sword but I got about 5 dependency issues. I downloaded all of those packages and dpkg -i ed as many as I could. But then libgtkhtml returned about 20 packages it needed. Is there a fast way to get all of the packages needed to install sword or another package?

Wy using only dpkg ?
In Debian just do
(will take care of all dependencies for you)Code:apt-get install package_name
To fix your system do:
(will fix what is broken)[/i]Code:apt-get -f install
