pkg dependencies

BTW, didn't see nothing about pkg alises anywhere here, on forums.
It is possible to add/change some aliases for pkg via /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf,
and it is very useful. Add them before last "}". Here is mine, for example,
"i" works as "info", "in" - install, "r" - "remove", etc.
Code: 
  a: autoremove,
  r: remove,
  u: upgrade,
  up: update,
  in: install,
  i: info,
  s: search,
  S: set,
  c: create,
  w: which,
  l: info -l,
So when I want to install a package, I use # pkg in package, to mark package as automatically installed — # pkg S -A 1 package, etc.

All of them are listed in /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf.
Code: 
# Sample alias settings
ALIAS              : {
  all-depends: query %dn-%dv,
  annotations: info -A,
  build-depends: info -qd,
  cinfo: info -Cx,
  comment: query -i "%c",
  csearch: search -Cx,
  desc: query -i "%e",
  download: fetch,
  iinfo: info -ix,
  isearch: search -ix,
  prime-list: "query -e '%a = 0' '%n'",
  prime-origins: "query -e '%a = 0' '%o'",
  leaf: "query -e '%#r == 0' '%n-%v'",
  list: info -ql,
  noauto = "query -e '%a == 0' '%n-%v'",
  options: query -i "%n - %Ok: %Ov",
  origin: info -qo,
  provided-depends: info -qb,
  raw: info -R,
  required-depends: info -qr,
  roptions: rquery -i "%n - %Ok: %Ov",
  shared-depends: info -qB,
  show: info -f -k,
  size: info -sq,
}
Some of default aliases are not very useful, IMO, it is much easier to use
# pkg info -r package than # pkg required-depends package.
Also "-q" flag is added to many aliases, it forces quiet output,
and some times it isn't very useful, it is only useful if you're using something
like # pkg install $(pkg build-depends package)

I agree with you there, but for some it is much easier to remember required-depends than -qr, especially if you don't use pkg too often.

Ayups, using pkg-info(8). pkg info -dx <partial name>. This will show the dependencies (-d). You can also check if there are any other packages depending on this one, and well.. tons of stuff. See the manual page.

That's great, I wouldn't have stumbled upon the '-x' option if you hadn't mentioned.

Now I have a list of pkgs but some are listed with a tab which I'm trying to remove usind sed...
Code: 
pkg info -dx mc | sed "s/\\t//"
but that doesn't work... Any ideas?

Yes, use pkg query '%dn-%dv' mc instead. That way you don't have to cleanup pkg-info(8)'s output.

If this is about fetching all dependencies for mc for offline installation (per Thread pkg-fetch.65685), note that pkg-fetch(8) has an option for fetching all transitive dependencies of a package as well: pkg fetch -d mc

If you combine that with the -o option and with pkg-repo(8) you should be able to create a small adhoc repository for it and let pkg handle dependency resolution instead of installing them manually with pkg-add(8).
