Question on updating dependencies in Arch from a newbie (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

submitted 5 months ago by ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone to c/archlinux@lemmy.ml

How do non explicitly installed package dependencies get updated in Arch? Do they update independently of the package that is dependent on them, or do they get updated when the parent package updates? Or is it some secret third thing?

Thanks!

Fairly certain it's the first unless you're forcing an update on some dependency with pacman. If I'm wrong, I'm more likely to get corrected than you are to get an answer and we will both learn something lol.
