How to list all pkgs with gnome-common dependency

Always have a problem with a script for Larch which upsets the /proc mount when gnome-common appears but don't know whence it came.

Is there a way to list all pkgs requiring gnome-common dependency?

Deleting them would probably solve my dilemma.

This might work

find /var/lib/pacman/local/ -name depends | xargs grep gnome-common

Re: How to list all pkgs with gnome-common dependency

pacman -Si gnome-common might work better.

But realize, that if pacman -Qi gnome-common doesn't work, then you don't have the package installed on your system.
