My understanding is that -r returns dependencies of an installed package
-- i.e., which packages are required for that package to work.

I am asking about the opposite: Which other packages depend on this
package. This info was available from the old 'pkg_info -R' command.

No manual entry for pkg-info

And new systems no longer include the old pkg_info command. Did you mean
something else?

Thanks!
