# Advanced
> xbps-query -x cowsay
Show cowsay's dependencies. The -R flag's required for a remote package.
> xbps-query -X cowsay
Show the reverse dependencies of a package.
> xbps-query -XR cowsay
Show all reverse dependencies of a package, including repository packages.
> xbps-query -m
List all manually installed software.
# Problems
Look for broken packages.
> sudo xbps-pkgdb -a
And if you've found any, you might try:
> sudo xbps-reconfigure -af
This reconfigures all packages forcefully.
If that doesn't help the issue, try to find the broken package and forcefully reinstall:
> xbps-query -s gnutls
> sudo xbps-install -f gnutls
