List IPK package depencencies

Very often you may need to detect the runtime dependencies having a .IPK package. the dependency list is shown using the oe-pkgdata-util command provided by Yocto Project.

$ oe-pkgdata-util read-value RDEPENDS canutils

iproute2 glibc (>= 2.29) libsocketcan (>= 0.0.10)

For example the command above lists the dependencies of the canutils package and the dependencies are:

• iproute2
• glibc (>= 2.29)
• libsocketcan (>= 0.0.10)

These dependencies are seen from the runtime point of view.
