I don’t think this is actually true, unless something has changed since: [Installing package seems to update everything unintentionally? - #9 by kristoffer.carlsson](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/installing-package-seems-to-update-everything-unintentionally/25134/9) I share OPs view that its kind of unintuitive, but I’m guessing solving this is a harder graph theory problem than I realize.

In any case, assuming this hasn’t changed, I think the solution for now is 1) either `pin` things you for sure don’t want to update or 2) version control your Manifest.toml so you can always roll back if something broke.
