Hello,
I wish to know more about the package marco-compton. Which package does the marco-compton package depend on? When I try to get information from apt or dpkg, there is no info.

$ whereis marco-compton
marco-compton: /usr/bin/marco-compton /usr/share/man/man1/marco-compton.1.gz
$ apt show marco-compton
N: Unable to locate package marco-compton
N: Unable to locate package marco-compton
E: No packages found
$ dpkg -s marco-compton
dpkg-query: package 'marco-compton' is not installed and no information is available
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files.

You have to use capital -S (or --search) in dpkg command -

$ dpkg -S marco-compton
mate-tweak: /usr/share/mate/applications/marco-compton.desktop
mate-tweak: /usr/bin/marco-compton
mate-tweak: /usr/share/man/man1/marco-compton.1.gz

So the list of dependencies is a list of mate-tweak's dependencies.
Check them on packages.ubuntu.com or locally with apt-cache depends mate-tweak .
