Flashpluggin Failed To Build

I'm trying to build the flashplugin-prerelease10 on my Arch Linux 64-bit system but for some reason I'm getting an error:

[cmennens@slave flashplugin-prerelease]$ makepkg -s
==> Making package: flashplugin-prerelease 10.3.162.29-4 (Fri Feb 18 14:55:33 EST 2011)
==> Checking Runtime Dependencies...
==> Installing missing dependencies...
error: 'mozilla-common': could not find or read package
==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies.

I do not have 'mozilla-common' installed but don't understand why it's complaining about it. I am a 100% Chrome user and that's what I've got installed. Can anyone tell me what I can do to get this package built and installed on my Arch Linux system?

Re: Flashpluggin Failed To Build

mozilla-common is in extra - you need to find out why your pacman install is not seeing it there.

You need mozilla-common because it sets the MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH variable, which is also used by chromium.

Oops. I don't run my AUR from my Arch Linux machine so I have a VM for all my AUR stuff. I just didn't run 'pacman -Syy' and that was the problem.
