How do non explicitly installed package dependencies get updated in Arch? Do they update independently of the package that is dependent on them, or do they get updated when the parent package updates? Or is it some secret third thing?
Thanks!

In my experience, it’s idependently unless updating breaks a version dependency on another package. In that case pacman won’t update anything until the issue is resolved. I think I’ve only ever had this happen with AUR packages.
