5, to be precise:

community/awn-extras-applets/PKGBUILD
community/avant-window-navigator/PKGBUILD
community/libdesktop-agnostic/PKGBUILD
extra/midori/PKGBUILD
extra/gmpc/PKGBUILD

I don't know what's worse - installing Vala to build these from AUR or
read the 1 millionth request to update Vala :)

Denis.
