Get Yaourt to install missing dependencies?

Hi, everytime I wanna install something from AUR with Yaourt and the app has dependcies that isnt installed I allways have to install the dependencies manually.
It just breaks out.

Here it complains about kernel.

Why can't it not just download automaticly the missing dependencies?

==> omnibook-svn dependencies:
 - kernel26 (already installed)
 - kernel26 (already installed)
 - subversion (already installed)

==> WARNING: This PKGBUILD contains install file that can be dangerous.
omnibook.install
==>  Edit omnibook.install (recommended) ? [Y/n] ("A" to abort)

==>  Continue the building of omnibook-svn ? [Y/n]

==>y

Missing Dependencies:
  -> kernel26<2.6.27

If you go to the AUR page, you'll see that there's a solution there. yaourt is a great tool, but I would get in the habit of knowing what you are downloading before you use it.

Yes, find out all the dependancies and add them to the PKGBUILD or let the maintainer know.

Re: Get Yaourt to install missing dependencies?

Is the revision number on svn the same as in the PKGBUILD on AUR? yaourt cannot handle makepkg's auto-upgrade-feature.
