@Ateles: I also moved this package to: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dawn-writer-bin

Have a look to the right panel, "Required by" - these packages list dawn-bin as a possible dependency although they need "dawn" (the postscript renderer) not "dawn-bin" (the text editor). I'm maintaining the dawn-writer-git package and renamed the build binary to resolve this misleading dependency resolution (see https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dawn-writer-git#comment-1057389 and https://github.com/andrewmd5/dawn/issues/13). Is there a better solution to this I'm not yet aware of?
