Pacman failed to install missing dependencies - ncurses5-compat-libs

I'm trying to install Cydia Impactor on my arch linux machine. I got the git clone link and tried to install via makepkg -sri

The output I get is:

error: target not found: ncurses5-compat-libs
==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies.

Any help? I have installed ncurses5-compat-libs from the AUR already.

I have installed ncurses5-compat-libs from the AUR already.

How?  It doesn't seem it was successful.

What's the output of `pacman -Qs ncurses5`

Then you have not installed ncurses5-compat-libs.  Install that first.

I'm pretty sure I did. I git cloned it from the AUR and makepkg. It tells me I already installed the package.

What does it tell you, exactly? Installed is not the same as built.

I got it to work with makepkg -sri again. Don't know why it didn't work the first time.
