Firefox-branded dependency problem

I haven't updated in a while and when I try to now using yaourt, I'm having a dependency conflict between xulrunner and firefox-branded.

When I try to install firefox-branded, I get this error:

==> Making package: firefox-branded 3.5.3-1 i686 (Sat Oct 17 12:10:13 MDT 2009)
==> Checking Runtime Dependencies...
==> Installing missing dependencies...
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: firefox-branded: requires xulrunner=1.9.1.2
==> ERROR: Pacman failed to install missing dependencies.
Error: Makepkg was unable to build firefox-branded package.

I find this strange because the pkgbuild says it requires 1.9.1.3:

pkgname=firefox-branded
pkgver=3.5.3
pkgrel=1
_xulver=1.9.1.3
pkgdesc="Standalone web browser from mozilla.org"
arch=(i686 x86_64)
license=('MPL' 'GPL' 'LGPL')
depends=("xulrunner=${_xulver}" 'desktop-file-utils')

If I try to update xulrunner, I get this error:

> yao -S xulrunner
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: firefox-branded: requires xulrunner=1.9.1.2

Re: Firefox-branded dependency problem

Well i solved this with

yaourt -Sd xulrunner

Then I removed the version number from the firefox-branded pkgbuild and installed it with yaourt.  It seems to have worked.  It still seems like there is either a problem with the firefox-branded pkgbuild, yaourt, or pacman.
