I can confirm that pikaur does not properly handle the package. The
problem appears to be that the PKGBUILD requires both the python- and
python2-versions of dependencies, but both of the splits then define
their own depends.

Pikaur then installs only the depends for the version that I specify (I
tried python 3 first) and ignores the python 2 versions. Then when
"makepkg -s" is called, it complains that the python2 versions of the
AUR packages cannot be found. (repo packages are fine, of course)

I don't know if this is a bug, but you can probably work around this by
moving all those dependencies to the makedepends if you need them
during the build or remove them altogether otherwise. For me, the
latter option works.

Best,

Bert.
