Not really what I want to know: # guix refresh --list-dependent inkscape Building the following 5 packages would ensure 10 dependent packages are rebuilt: frescobaldi-2.19.0 solfege-3.22.2 simple-scan-3.19.91 termite-11 hydra-20150407.4c0e3e4 None of those are installed, but inkscape is pulled in by something which I want to know Is there no other way to get that information ? -- Vincent Legoll
