hi ludo,
Hope all is well!
In the manual (guix.texi), you mentioned that "More rebuilds might be required
under some circumstances" when running --list-dependent.
What are those circumstances? Could you help us document the circumstances
so we can have the background context/more explanations on that?
If you reply to this I can make a patch to provide more context there
from what you explained here.
all best,
jgart

‘--list-dependent’ shows the dependents of a given package according to
the package graph.
However, sometimes one defines variants based on a package:
(define pkg (package …))
(define pkg-variant (package (inherit pkg) …))
‘guix refresh -l pkg’ will report dependents of ‘pkg’ only. But if you
change ‘pkg’ (for instance if you upgrade it), then that’ll most likely
entail a rebuild of ‘pkg-variant’ and everything that depends on it.
HTH!
Ludo’.
