Unfortunately aurweb is unable to resolve vdr-api back to the actual vdr package.
So either it's a bug in aurweb or my construct (vdr-plugin --> vdr-api - --> vdr) is way to complex an there's an easier approach.
It has nothing to do with being unable to. aurweb would be fully able to. It's that that's not how provides work. This behaviour is exactly like if you eg try doing a `pacman -Si` on the provide. Provides just provide another name for conflict resolution, and depending on a provide will likely never link to the package page of some random PKGBUILD that provides it because many things could provide the same thing and it's not a real package name.
That makes sense. But I still don't know how to depend on vdr-api with a different pkgver than vdr itself. As this can happen, as it happened before. Thanks Christopher
