dependencies installed with makepkg -s are not reported by pacman -Qe

This is just something I noticed, though it may be the intended functionality of the programs.  Example:

build a package with makepkg -s that needs dependencies installed.
install the dependencies
if the package build is interrupted or fails, or if the package is just not installed, these dependencies are orphans
pacman -Qe does not list these orphans

Could these dependencies somehow be installed as orphans in the pacman database until the intended package is installed?

I don't know how the pacman database works, and this might be how the programs are designed to work.  Just throwing this out there for comments.

No, but they can be installed as dependencies, which is already done by pacman / makepkg 3.1 .
Then you'll be able to list orphans using the new query options described there :

These options will also be described in pacman -Qh and man pacman.
