[solved] pacman dependency

Hi,

how do I find out what package pulled in another package e.g. mysql?

pacman -Qi mysql

produces the following:

Install Reason : Installed as a dependency for another package

How do I find out what "another package" is?

Best, getagrip

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

'pacman -Qi mysql' should tell you that, check the line "Required by".

Maybe I should read more carefully, thanks!
