I fixed the dependencies and access to the Git submodule from the local build cache.

Firstly, this package fails to build in a clean chroot because it lacks a makedepends on git. Ref: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/VCS_package_guidelines#Conflicts_and_dependencies

Secondly, this package fails in prepare() with the following output (using aurutils):

==> Starting prepare()...

Not entirely sure what should be done about that, but I got around it by modifying my local copy of the PKGBUILD with the second git url in the source array instead of a file path on line 17. Not sure if this is a suitable alternative, but it got me past the build failures, so make of that what you will :P
