The cargo cult of libdepends strikes again...
And if it did provide libalpm.so, it wouldn't help you since this is the git version which means any ABI-breaking changes won't bump the soname until release time, thus, depending on a soname version achieves precisely nothing.
I guess I could provide a (meaningless) libalpm.so, but... I've got no idea if these packages access APIs which have been changed in pacman 6.0.0alpha1, in which case it will hardly help.

For convenience I provide an unofficial repository containing prebuilt versions of this and a number of other AUR packages. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unofficial_user_repositories#eschwartz
The packages are signed using my [community] packaging key and are therefore trustworthy. :)
