If I do `pacman -Qi <package>` and see:

```
...
Install Reason : Installed as a dependency for another package
...
```

I expect that `pacman -S <same_package>` to change that to:


```
...
Install Reason : Explicitly installed
...
```

But it doesn't (you have to uninstall+install again)
This task depends upon
