is there a way to get a dependency graph listing from my manifest?

I recently went all-in on vcpkg, relying on it more than ever in a project.

Sadly, one of my new dependencies decided to rely upon the python3 port, which doesn't build on linux/arm64 at the moment (issue #37451). I could back out of a dependency to remove the need to compile python3, if I only knew which one was indirectly using it.

Is there a vcpkg call or a script that would ferret this out? I searched but found nothing.

Clearly, I need sleep. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vcpkg/commands/depend-info solves this.

Sometimes, vcpkg install --dry-run <list> is useful. It lets you change features for multiple ports. And it shows the triplet, which may matter for complex host dependencies.
