Details

In one release lifetime, the software can obtain new dependencies (libinput for example) and it would be good if 'prt-get' can show that. Also, some packages can be manually deleted (after installing for example), and there is no need to remember whether this package is a dependency of other port or not. We can always check where we've mistaken.

I made the patch to prt-get to check for missing dependencies of currently installed ports.
By the way, I'm not familiar with C++, and the code can look awful))

There is a usage example: https://paste.pound-python.org/show/8DqIKor5T4PegZUB2cxH/
