ios - Carthage fetches and builds repository that is not in my Cartfile

Question

FYI Xcode 12.3, Mac M1.

When I run the Carthage command carthage update --platform iOS, Carthage fetches a repository that is not in the Cartfile. Can you please explain why?

To debug this I've uninstalled Carthage, cleaned cache etc, then reinstalled.

The following is a terminal log showing details. Note the Cartfile, shown below, does not contain CocoaLumberjack but Carthage still fetches it. Note that in a previous version of the Cartfile Cocoalumberjack was included.

Why is a repo not in the Cartfile being fetched?

Answer 1

Dumb question - SVGKit has a dependency on CocoaLumberjack
