Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  Read the manpage. Use -dd now to fully skip checks, and why are you skipping dep checks anyway?

I’m writing a PKGBUILD for a game and I wanted to be sure that openal is not needed (the game is supposed to use openal but namcap says that the dependency is unneeded), so I wanted to remove temporarily openal (without having to remove everything that depends on it) and test if the game still works.

Thank you, and sorry for not having carefully read the manpage.
