Librewolf makepkg requires nonexistent dependency

Trying to build an AUR package for the first time (Librewolf) and I was following the Wiki to a tee until I ran into a dependency for Librewolf called "wlheadless-run". Unfortunately, I cannot find it in the AUR homepage or the regular Arch packages search page.

This is what happened when I tried building the package.

[will@groove Downloads]$ cd librewolf/
[will@groove librewolf]$ makepkg
==> Making package: librewolf 1:141.0.0_1-1 (Sun 03 Aug 2025 04:51:48 PM EDT)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Checking buildtime dependencies...
==> Missing dependencies:
  -> wlheadless-run
==> ERROR: Could not resolve all dependencies.
[will@groove librewolf]$ makepkg -s
==> Making package: librewolf 1:141.0.0_1-1 (Sun 03 Aug 2025 04:53:38 PM EDT)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Checking buildtime dependencies...
==> Installing missing dependencies...
[sudo] password for will: 
error: target not found: wlheadless-run
==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies.
==> Missing dependencies:
  -> wlheadless-run
==> ERROR: Could not resolve all dependencies. 

This dependency can't be found on the AUR or pacman repositories. Any help would be greatly appreciated since I want to learn how to use the AUR since I'm new to Linux.

Re: Librewolf makepkg requires nonexistent dependency

If you look at the AUR page it has wlheadless-run (xwayland-run-git AUR, xwayland-run AUR)
So you would need one of those packages to fulfil the dependency,

Shows what satisfies that dep.
