pactree: Dump dependencies one per line, skipping duplicates.

pactree

$ pactree --unique ${package}

try on your machine

The command "pactree --unique ${package}" is used to display a unique list of dependencies for a specific package.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

"pactree" is the name of the command-line tool used in the Arch Linux package manager, pacman. It is used to show a tree-like structure of all package dependencies.
"--unique" is an option provided by the pactree command. It ensures that only unique dependencies are shown in the output.
"${package}" is a placeholder for the name of the package for which you want to display the dependencies. You need to replace this placeholder with the actual name of the package you want to examine.

By running this command, you will get a list of unique dependencies for the specified package. This can be useful in understanding the dependencies required for a particular package or checking if a certain package is installed as a dependency for other packages.
