Aurget and install as dependency?
What does the "As dependency" mean? I have done some searching, but without luck.
# aurget -d <pkgname>
.

==> Install package? (y/n) y
==> As dependency? (y/n) y

Re: Aurget and install as dependency?
I've not used aurget, but I suspect it has to do with pacman's --asdeps option:
man pacman wrote:
--asdeps
Install packages non-explicitly; in other words, fake their install reason to be installed as a dependency. This is useful for makepkg and other build from source tools that need to install dependencies before building the package.

Re: Aurget and install as dependency?
It means that when you uninstall the package which needs it with pacman -Rns, if it was installed as a dep, it will be removed.
