Gmail's GUI and mailing lists sounds like fun…

That is how it works. When you are in such a situation you have to
install that dependency manually with "makepkg --install --asdeps" in
the first place. When you use e.g. "pacaur" to install AUR packages it
will handle dependency resolution -- including AUR packages --
automatically.
