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.

Any opinions?

The easiest solution is to make vdr-api a virtual package, like java-environment. However, i'm 99% sure "real" virtual packages can only be created in official repos. For AUR you'll have to do with a dummy package . I think you should make vdr a split package with pkgbase= vdr and 2 package functions : package_vdr() and package_vdr-api() . vdr should depend on vdr-api . LW
