move a package from explicit installation list to dependency list

I installed a package explicitly, and later i installed another package which is depending on the first package.

How to move a package from explicit installation list to dependency list, when there actually is an another package depend on it?

Re: move a package from explicit installation list to dependency list

man pacman is your friend:

pacman -D --asdeps <package>

Note: Always try hard enough to find a solution by yourself. Only then ask.
