Colleagues, 

Sometimes you attempt to "pkg install" a simple package and find out
that it attempts to install a load of crap (like X libraries) because of
some obscure dependency.

Is there a tool that would analyze the repository metadata and display
a dependency tree for a package?

All the necessary dependency information is already in the repository
in JSON (?) or sqlite format, perhaps someone has already come up with
a script to display that?
