[arch-general] [pacman] unknown-horizons / dependencies
Hi, as far as I understood, there's a conflict between "unknown-horizons" and current version of fife. However, the game refuses to start, so I want to re-install it, respectively replace it by the git version. Using "pacman -Rssd" (also using only one "s"), optional dependencies of other packages are removed, too (e.g. "boost" for "ogre"), but without any "s", no dependencies are removed. 1. As I don't remember, which package has installed "ogre" probably as a dependency, I'd like to know that. Using "-Qo" it seems only to be possible to get the owners of files - how can I view the "parent" or "owner package" of a package? 2. How can I exclude optional dependencies from removal? Kind regards Peter

pactree -r
2. How can I exclude optional dependencies from removal?
I'm not aware of a way. Maybe someone else can help here.
