Wouldn't it be great if there was a command or program that would scan through all the installed packages on your system and create a nice, tree view including structure of dependencies. The program could use the information from /var/lib/pacman/local to create this package tree.
I know that it's possible to navigate through these directories manually but it's time consuming and chaotic.

Sure it'd be great... I've found that removing packages is a PITA even when using the recursive option... I'd love a graphical pacman tool if only for the removal of packages...

guys just do a forum search there are several gui pacman projects out there.

Archibald doesn't seem to work at all for me... I'll do a search and see what the other ones are...

Pkgsweeper also isn't sth I had on my mind.
Correct me if i'm wrong but the pacman-gui thing is only for installing.
I'll try Archibald now..
btw. Do I have to install all those gnomish dependencies(50mb) before installing Archibald??

Bingo
It's written in pyGTK/glade and it handles recursive dependencies. Just take a look at this thread please:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … pacman+gui
there's a link to the author's page and you can download gpacsearch there.
It looks awesome, just what i needed.
Edit: It's almost what i needed;)
This program shows only dependencies so far. Would it be hard to implement %REQUIREDBY% section to the packagage information window????

don't ask us ask the person who wrote the code. it is not an official package so i won't help beyond sayuing contact the developer.

Cool. I already did it. The feature most likely will be implemented. EOT.

Sorry, I am way too busy with more pressing issues these days, I'll bring Archibald up to snuff as soon as I can find time for it.
