Description:
webkit2gtk seems to have a build depends on geoclue2, but it is optional at runtime. It does not link against it and instead queries dbus (and gracefully fails if unavailable).

$ files=$(pacman -Ql webkit2gtk | cut -d' ' -f2- | grep -vE '^/usr/(include|share|lib/.*/)|/$|\.so(\.[0-9]+)?$')

I suggest you use pacman -Qql instead of ugly things with piping to cut, BTW.
