 Replying to [comment:16 traveler.hauptman]:

 installed from source. Thus a package may be installed on the system but
 an attempt to install it with pacman will fail.
 I have to admit that my knowledge of arch is limited here. For now, we let
 autoproj do the build if there are not prebuilt packages. libflann is
 actually an example: rock defines both an osdeps (called flann) *and* a
 source package (called slam/flann) and tells autoproj that slam/flann is
 the source package for flann (in autoproj/remotes/rock/libs.autobuild).
 autoproj will therefore build the source if the osdep is not available on
 the build target.

 > Is it possible to warn the user that a dependency needs to be installed
 manually? I see the 'ignore' and 'nonexistant' keywords...
 Not at the moment.
