Of which package is this package a dependency?
I promise I read the man page and the --help stuff.
When I do "pacman -Qi mesa", it tells me that mesa was installed as a dependency for another package.
Question: how can I find out which package drew in mesa as a dependency? Isn't there a pacman switch for this? Or am I thinking about a switch in another package manager on another distro (in another galaxy??? ...)?

Read more of the pacman -Qi output. There is a "Required by" field.
