Hey, sometimes when I do pacman -Syu, I see some weird package being installed and I am curious which explicitly installed package is installing/updating it.

How do I so with pacman?

I know we can easily find out why an installed package is being installed, but what about before the package is being installed?

Ah, it worked. I thought Qi only works for packages that are already installed. Didn't knew it worked for things that are synced as a new dependency of a package
