Hey, sometimes when I do pacman -Syu
, I see some weird package being installed and I am curious which explicitly installed package is installing/updating it.
How do I so with pacman
?
I know we can easily find out why an installed package is being installed, but what about before the package is being installed?

pacman -Qi
is the correct tool for this job.Ah, it worked. I thought
Qi
only works for packages that are already installed. Didn’t knew it worked for things that are synced as a new dependency of a packageDependencies are installed, they’re just installed as dependencies lol
