When installing a target from AUR (meat -d <target>), firstly meat installs all dependencies and after that you can edit the PKGBUILD of the target and build it.
It might be a better option to edit the PKGBUILD beforehand to be able to change the dependencies of <target>.
In my case, I tried to install fortune-mod-all-en which acts as a meta package and depends on a lot of other aur packages. The problem was, that some of them have broken source links and/or old PKGBUILDs and aren't working anymore so building them would fail and I cannot install the remaining dependencies and the <target> itself.
