It is possible though that is what happened is it went from [community] to AUR. Just always thought it was an AUR package to being with, I could be wrong though.

Thats quite surprising. I would also like to know how that happens.
Are there ghosts on the AUR ?

So as you see it seems to not being able to find something from uuid. Thanks for any help or smacking me to realize what I am missing here. Also I did verify what it is looking for does not exist on my system.
EDIT:
While trying to still sort this out I have run into something that seems "weird" to me I was looking over the uuid package just a moment ago, and the AUR page stats it was uploaded first today, yet it has been installed on my box before today? I know the package I maintain on AUR actually shows when it was first submitted normally. How could this have been used as a dependency before this but was initially submitted the 8th yesterday? It may be nothing just seems strange to me, also if it was submitted on the 8th its all ready been orphaned.
EDIT2:
Well after lots of tinkering around I cloned the AUR repo to get the -8 version of uuid to see if I could notice what had changed through the update. I noticed that configure was missing the --with-perl call which is why I was missing the file that I was. But the part that I still do not get is how can an unmaintained packaged get updated, and with major changes. It got a new patch and a new PKGBUILD between -8 and -9. I am trying to sort through what the actual differences are with the patches as time permits for me, if I can confidently say why the changes took place I will take over the package as well, but honestly at this point I am at a loss for why the changes that were done took place on the 8th.
