[Solved] Installed as dependency for what package?

I was wondering, how can I find out what package has required the installation of another package? For example:

[~ ]$ pacman -Qi gegl
...
Install Reason : Installed as a dependency for another package
...

I couldn't find any option that would show me more info on this.

Required By : gimp

Do you have gimp installed?

Did you check the "Required by" line? If its just one package, chances are its the one.
