[SOLVED] Which package required automatically installed one?

Issue

I'm using Ubuntu/Debian. There is an automatically installed package (let's call it mypack) I don't know why it is there. Using apt-get autoremove does not remove it, so there should be a manually installed package depending on it. But apt-get remove mypack does not show any package that would have unfulfilled dependencies. Already tried apt-cahe rdepends mypack without finding any manually installed package.

How to find out which package required or recommended mypack?

I want to be sure it is safe to remove it.

Solution

execute this:

aptitude why mypack

and you'll be told
