Hello!
Today I run:
pacman -Qtdto check what orphans I have in my system. Normally, I would not care, but some of them take really long to update, so I'd like to get rid of them. However, to ensure myself, I'd like to know how these packages got into the system. pacman -Qi shows only that it was installed as dependency, but not which dependency. Is there any way to check it?

Read your pacman log.

I thought there is some smarter way, but thanks anyway.

A smarter way may be running 'pacman -Rs foo' instead of 'pacman -R foo' ;-P
