removal of induces installation of other package

[Marco van Hulten]

Hi—

I removed a package, but this resulted in other packages being built:


$ guix package -r evince
The following package will be removed:
   evince       3.28.2  
/gnu/store/0453w20ldm1pxhbbginwi35ri2w2b7vi-evince-3.28.2

Building /gnu/store/2gf7ndczpg99kbcy5vap5q1lpg1wf8hm-texinfo-6.5.tar.xz.drv -

It takes a long time.  Why does this happen?

One thing I can imagine is that some installed package depends on either
evince or texinfo.
