something wants to pull in gtk3

i've been living happily without gtk3.
today, a "pacman -Syu" wants to pull in gtk3.
i have not been able to find the culprit programmatically.
is it possible?

Re: something wants to pull in gtk3

There could be a better way, but you could try running 'pacman -S package' for every package that would get updated when you run pacman -Syu, and see which one pulls in gtk3 as dependency.

Or after you run the update and install gtk3, you can use 'pacman -Qi' or even 'pacman -R' to see which packages require it

ooo, that's what i would consider manually, as opposed to programmatically.
i had a pretty large update.

arojas:
wow. so much output, even though there's nothing to update.
but this

sudo pacman -Syu --debug 2>&1|grep gtk3

seems to be doing the trick.

thanks to both of you.
