The library mentioned in 'depends' is not needed by any file libpam.so

The warning message was in polish
==> OSTRZEŻENIE: Biblioteka wymieniona w 'depends' nie jest potrzebna jakikolwiek pliku: libpam.so

It is my translation to english:

==> WARNING: The library mentioned in 'depends' is not needed by any file: libpam.so

It showed during system update
I checked parman.log file but couldn't find anything there (it may be there but I'm not sure what to look for. Tried depends and libpam).

What did you enable to get that warning?  It is not from pacman.

Read the PKGBUILD again. There is a "depends" array listing the dependencies. pikaur somehow tries to check whether dependencies are necessary and thinks the one it complains about is not.
