can you be more specific about what happens?

Yes, download package called "yaourt" from AUR for example. Extract it and try running "makepkg -s" against it. You should get this following error:

makepkg -s
==> Making package: yaourt 1.0.1-1 (Mon Jan 23 09:23:58 MST 2012)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Installing missing dependencies...
error: target not found: package-query>=1.0
==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies.

Then you can try downloading package called "fontconfig-infinality" from AUR and do the same, run "makepkg -s" against it. You will get this following error:

makepkg -s
==> Making package: fontconfig-infinality 1-1 (Mon Jan 23 09:26:12 MST 2012)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Installing missing dependencies...
error: target not found: freetype2-infinality
==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies.


So basically any package I try to install from AUR repository, no longer works after I have upgraded to new pacman version 4.0.1 I've just noticed this issue today, when I've tried using "yaourt" and when that did not work because of the "package-query>=1.0" dependancy. I've tried to install freetype2-infinality package manually from AUR, with same effect. So because pacman v4 has removed "package-query" package and some other issues with pacman that I don't know lead to error;

==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies.

dependencies have to be installed first and pacman doesn't support AUR.

so you first install package-query and then yaourt. same for fontconfig-infinality, first freetype2-infinality.
