pacman-deptest:tldr:ab02c

The command "pacman --deptest ${package_name1} ${package_name2}" is used in Arch Linux to check the dependency validity of specified packages before installing or upgrading them.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

• "pacman" is the package manager in Arch Linux.
• "--deptest" is a flag/option used with pacman to perform a dependency test. It checks if the specified packages and their dependencies are satisfied and can be installed/updated without any issues.
• "${package_name1}" and "${package_name2}" are placeholders representing the names of the packages you want to test for dependencies. You can replace them with actual package names.

When you execute this command, pacman will analyze the specified packages along with their dependencies. If any dependencies are missing or not satisfied, pacman will display an error message indicating which packages are causing the issue. It won't actually install or upgrade the packages, but will only perform the dependency check.
