Bug 58830
| Summary: | apt-cache whatdepends does not notice direct/alternative deps; selects only one instance for the named package | ||

Now I see a part of the reason. The reason is that a specific instance of the named package is selected (in this case, the rebuilt one):
$ ~/hasher/aptbox/apt-cache whatdepends librpmbuild7
librpmbuild7-4.13.0.1-alt44@1776845801
but it's impossible to specify a different one on the command line: 4.13.0.1-alt44:sisyphus+405580.200.3.1@1768927476
[imz@cheval ~]$ ~/hasher/aptbox/apt-cache whatdepends librpmbuild7='4.13.0.1-alt44:sisyphus+405580.200.3.1@1768927476'
W: Unable to locate package librpmbuild7=4.13.0.1-alt44:sisyphus+405580.200.3.1@1768927476

W: Unable to locate package librpmbuild7-4.13.0.1-alt44
[imz@cheval ~]$
And this doesn't justify it not showing the direct deps from the newly rebuilt packages, like this one:
$ ~/hasher/aptbox/apt-cache depends rpmspec
rpmspec-4.13.0.1-alt44@1776845801
Depends: </lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2>
glibc-core-6:2.40.0.224.573a-alt1:sisyphus+413851.100.2.1@1775135301
Depends: <libpopt.so.0()(64bit)>
libpopt-1:1.18-alt1:sisyphus+283609.300.5.1@1630003299
Depends: librpmbuild7 = 4.13.0.1-alt44
Conflicts: rpm < 4.13.0-alt6
$
Maybe it doesn't show it because there is an alternative way to satisfy it (not only librpmbuild7-4.13.0.1-alt44@1776845801 , but also librpmbuild7 4.13.0.1-alt44:sisyphus+405580.200.3.1@1768927476)
