You are invoking undefined behavior.  The expected usage of the script is to '--update' its pkg
data, or pass in packages (names of packages, or a singular package if that is the case).  It
is not intended to pass in slapt-get arguments directly to it.

./depend.sh --update

./depend.sh vim abiword gnome-session
