Hi,
When I install packages, I accidentally installed some packages which are pull in as dependency of some other package, say package P. pacman can point out that it will perform a reinstall of that package. I want to know if pacman will add this package into my system package dependencies and keeps it even package P no longer depends on it? And how can I remove this package from my system dependency database while keep it in my system?
In Gentoo, there's a world that stores system package dependency and I can edit it manually. What about pacman?
Thanks,
D.

Take a look at man pacman
Note the Query operation (-Q) d and t options. And the Update operation (-U) -asdeps and -asexplicit options.
