$ pactree xf86-video-intel

error: package 'xf86-video-intel' not found

Why is this? Pactree works with every other package I have tried.

Re: [SOLVED] pactree returns error for xf86-video-intel

Because pactree, by default, only works on packages that are installed. It has an option to use the sync databases instead.

pacman -Si lists information from the sync database, not from packages that are installed in your system. xf86-video-intel is not installed (... and you shouldn't install it, unless you are operating on 10+ year old hardware)

Thank you both. This works:

$ pactree -s xf86-video-intel
