Could you help us document the circumstances > so we can have the background context/more explanations on that? =E2=80=98--list-dependent=E2=80=99 shows the dependents of a given package = according to the package graph. However, sometimes one defines variants based on a package: (define pkg (package =E2=80=A6)) (define pkg-variant (package (inherit pkg) =E2=80=A6)) =E2=80=98guix refresh -l pkg=E2=80=99 will report dependents of =E2=80=98pk= g=E2=80=99 only. But if you change =E2=80=98pkg=E2=80=99 (for instance if you upgrade it), then that=E2= =80=99ll most likely entail a rebuild of =E2=80=98pkg-variant=E2=80=99 and everything that depen= ds on it.
