Description:
Uninstalled plasma-meta with pacman -Srn
Rebooted, this removed wpa_supplicant as well. Not sure if that's the intended behaviour, as I had also wifi-menu installed.
Possible dependency list bug?

Steps to reproduce:
Download plasma-meta
Set up wifi-menu
pacman -Srn plasma-meta
wifi-menu stops working due to lacking wpa_supplicant
This task depends upon

wpa_supplicant is an optional dependency of netctl only
