Determine which CocoaPod(s) need a specific dependency

Motivation: I am using XCode 7.1 Beta and some CocoaPods that are dependencies of other CocoaPods are not compatible with the beta for one reason or another. So I know which Pods are "bad" but not which Pods are using those Pods.

Is there a pod command or other method to input a pod name and output all of its dependents that are included in your project aside from trial and error?

There is a command to list the dependencies of the library (Take FBSDKCoreKit as example). 

pod spec cat FBSDKCoreKit

which the output is the contents of its Podspec, which contains the dependencies information:

{
  "name": "FBSDKCoreKit",
  "version": "4.5.1",
  "summary": "Official Facebook SDK for iOS to access Facebook Platform's core features",
  "description": "The Facebook SDK for iOS CoreKit framework provides:\n* App Events (for App Analytics)\n* Graph API Access and Error Recovery\n* Working with Access Tokens and User Profiles",
  "homepage": "https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ios/",
  "license": {
    "type": "Facebook Platform License",
    "file": "LICENSE"
  },
  "authors": "Facebook",
  "platforms": {

  },
  "source": {
    "git": "https://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk.git",

  "dependencies": {

    ]
  },
  "header_dir": "FBSDKCoreKit",
  "header_mappings_dir": "FBSDKCoreKit/FBSDKCoreKit/Internal",
  "subspecs": [
    {
      "name": "arc",
      "public_header_files": "FBSDKCoreKit/FBSDKCoreKit/*.h",
      "source_files": "FBSDKCoreKit/FBSDKCoreKit/**/*.{h,m}",
      "exclude_files": "FBSDKCoreKit/FBSDKCoreKit/Internal/FBSDKDynamicFrameworkLoader.m",
      "requires_arc": true
    },
    {
      "name": "no-arc",
      "source_files": "FBSDKCoreKit/FBSDKCoreKit/Internal/FBSDKDynamicFrameworkLoader.m",
      "requires_arc": false,
      "dependencies": {
        "FBSDKCoreKit/arc": [

        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}
