I'm guessing this has to be a bug in Ubuntu 10.04 apt-cache. If I leave out
--recurse,
$ apt-cache depends -i bash libc6 | grep -v '^[<[:space:]]' | grep libc
libc6
Adding --recurse should not cause packages to not be listed. I imagine
whatever bug caused this was fixed between the 10.04 and 10.10, since my
home box running 10.10 doesn't have this problem.
