Yaourt not finding AUR dependencies?

Trying to install the Iron build of Chromium:

==> Making package: iron 4.0.227-2 x86_64 (Wed Dec  9 14:26:24 EST 2009)
==> Checking Runtime Dependencies...
==> Installing missing dependencies...
lib32-dbus-glib package not found, searching for group...
[b]error: 'lib32-dbus-glib': not found in sync db[/b]
==> ERROR: Pacman failed to install missing dependencies.
Error: Makepkg was unable to build iron package.

Note lib32-dbus-glib really is on AUR.  Also,

$ yaourt -S lib32-dbus-glib --asdeps

works fine (but then I need to install lib32-gconf by hand also).  On the other hand,

$ yaourt -S lib32-gconf  #another dependency for Iron
==> lib32-gconf dependencies:
 - lib32-orbit2 (building from AUR)
 - lib32-gtk2 (package found)
 - lib32-libxml2 (package found)

This seems pretty inconsistent.  Why is yaourt pulling in dependencies from AUR to install lib32-gconf but not to install Iron?

Edit: notice the build order seems to be different, because one somehow (?) gets identified as a _runtime_ dependency.

Re: Yaourt not finding AUR dependencies?

I changed the PKGBUILD from

if [[ $CARCH = x86_64 ]]; then
  depends=('lib32-alsa-lib' 'lib32-dbus-glib' 'lib32-gconf' 'lib32-nss' 'lib32-libxdamage' 'ttf-dejavu')
  optdepends=('nspluginwrapper-flash: flash support')
else
  depends=('alsa-lib' 'gconf' 'nss' 'ttf-dejavu')
fi

to

depends=('lib32-alsa-lib' 'lib32-dbus-glib' 'lib32-gconf' 'lib32-nss' 'lib32-libxdamage' 'ttf-dejavu')
optdepends=('nspluginwrapper-flash: flash support')

and suddenly it works.  So, I noticed this (installing from original PKGBUILD):

==> iron dependencies:
 - alsa-lib (already installed)
 - gconf (already installed)
 - nss (already installed)
 - ttf-dejavu (already installed)

So, it seems like pacman/yaourt is initially getting dependencies for the wrong architecture and only later coming back and only later getting the correct dependencies from testing against $CARCH, but at this point it screws up for some reason, and the added dependencies like lib32-<stuff> are "not found in sync db" ...

Edit: this issue persists in yaourt-git.

Yeah yaourt doesn't handle [ $CARCH = x86_64 ] for some reason, not sure just why.

Re: Yaourt not finding AUR dependencies?

This is why we need to drop bash PKGBUILDs in favor of a universally parsable format.
