[SOLVED] Check if package satisfy dependencies

Hi

Is it possible to check whether the package satisfy the dependencies without building/syncing/installing etc
things like that
depends=("electron${_electronVersion}" "nodejs>20" "libvips")

Re: [SOLVED] Check if package satisfy dependencies

you can use pacman -T (which stands for --deptest), it checks dependencies against your locally installed packages without syncing or installing anything,
if all dependencies are satisfied, it returns ntg & exits with a 0 status. If any are missing or unsatisfied, it prints them out...
