.so file dependencies are not handled correctly

Trying to install AUR/yuzu leads to this:

This is despite the dependencies clearly being available on the AUR page - libcubeb.so (cubeb-git) - for example the first error.

Such a package is impossible for AUR helpers using the AUR RPC to handle, because latter does not expose provides.

I've been a trizen user for years now, and a very happy one, having encountered no issues through these years of usage. That is, until today: when trying to install syncthingtray-qt6, dependency resolution fails for all the .so dependencies, leading to the installation failing with the error 'could not resolve all dependencies'. I installed yay and it was able to successfully install the corresponding packages for these dependencies.

PKGBUILD permalink for which this failure was encountered: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=syncthingtray-qt6&id=0f590efdc88e6e24f7cf2f413cdfe759258a438d

Looking around the repo, it seems trizen might be EOL, and if that is the case, I would like to sincerely thank the maintainer(s) for this beautiful piece of software that has served me reliably for years now!

And if not, please let me know if any additional information is needed to help resolve this issue, or whether the method used by yay for resolving these dependencies is out of scope for trizen.

yay uses provides heuristics that severely increase the AUR load and have lead to rate limiting in certain cases. I do not recommend any other projects to implement them.
