The problem: system restoration. I am rebuilding a server. In doing so, I can get a list of missing packages per the Wiki instructions. Thanks for that. However, to get the optional dependencies to be listed, in order to build appropriately, that set of data seems to be unavailable. It is not in pacman.log, though other helpful data is ("[ALPM-SCRIPTLET]" tags it).

I have downloaded the mailing list archives, and grepped them for optdeps, etc.

In late 2009, someone had the intention to create the subject script.

Did that ever happen? Or did it enter the companion tools and I have not yet found it?
