I’ll add a few more details: The missing module (Cmo_format) was contained in previous versions of this package (up to and including 4.08.1-1). However, in version 4.09, that module (as well as several others!) were moved to different directories[1], and when this package was updated, the installation routine was not adjusted accordingly. As noted by the OP, this issue affects the base OCaml package – not only when installed through opam, but also the corresponding AUR package – which itself is required by a number of other OCaml packages. As such, this issue can also be reproduced by attempting to build the ocaml-base package from the AUR.
