How can I determine the dependency of a Chocolatey package?

I keep getting the following error every time I run choco upgrade all -y. How can I determine which package depends on vcredist2008? (I didn't install it myself)

Based on the contents of the warning, I am going to say that it is this package, xnviewmp.install.

If you look at that page, you will see that there is a hard requirement on version 9.0.21022.8 of vcredist2008, therefore the upgrade of it isn't allowed.
