Today I recompiled qtcreator with qt4 to strip out qt5 dependency, but I made a mistake,

I made a line like this,

depends=('')

And pacman later report this error,

warning: cannot resolve "", a dependency of "qtcreator"
:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
qtcreator

So I guess makepkg is not that robust, it should check for empty stuff
This task depends upon

According to the packaging guidelines,
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Packaging_Standards

Where possible, remove empty lines from the PKGBUILD (provides, replaces, etc.)

It is not the empty dep line, but rather the '' value. Anyway, I'd say user error on this one.
