List Dependencies of Pending `pkg upgrade`
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I wanted to update most of the stuff on my FreeBSD system, so I was going to perform a pkg upgrade. I noticed that one of the listed new packages to be installed was Wayland; I'm not interested in having Wayland on my system, and I'm curious as to what's trying to install it. I assume it's a new dependency introduced by one of my many (many) packages being upgraded.
Is there any built in, approved, or otherwise straightforward way of determining which of my updated packages would cause Wayland to be installed on my system without actually updating those packages?

You can come up with right incantation of pkg rquery, but the cheap way I'm using is running pkg install on the package that I'm suspecting for pulling in the undesired one.

Maybe you want to add--dry-runoption.

But with--dry-runworks as a normal (non-root) user (without it doesn't). And you don't need answer if you want only the dependencies (and can use it in a script).

pkg upgrade --dry-run | awk 'if ($NF~/UPGRADED/) output=1; next; if (output==1) if ($0~/^t/) print else exit' | tr -d 't' | awk -F ':' 'print $1' | xargs -I % -L 1 sh -c 'echo %; pkg upgrade --dry-run %;'Looks like a lot of things want to introduce Wayland. Sigh.
