Usage

Arguments

pkg	character string name of package
depG	graphNEL instance as returned from makeDepGraph.
needed.only	logical value. When TRUE, only those dependencies not currently installed are included in the list, this is the default. When FALSE the complete list of dependencies is given regardless of the set of currently installed packages.
