Hi,
that's no big deal.
".SRCINFO files contain package metadata in a simple, unambiguous
format, so that tools such as the AUR's Web back-end or AUR helpers may
retrieve a package's metadata without parsing the PKGBUILD directly."
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/.SRCINFO
It's only been the first time for me I noticed a conflict between
PKGBUILD and .SRCINFO - next time I will look into both files, when I
notice such suspicious behaviour. ;-)

Don't replace one AUR helper by another, if an AUR helper fails. You
can build it using "makepkg".
I thought, pikaur fails because of a problem with some caching; then it
makes sense to check by using some other AUR helper, and aura failing
finally led me to the correct point, too - but it was the last one I
checked, and it took me quite some time.
BTW, I've now installed meshroom-git using the following command:
pikaur -Sa --assume-installed alembic-qfix meshroom-git
After building, this results in the following strange pacman command for
installation:
'sudo pacman --color=always --assume-installed alembic-qfix --upgrade
--assume_installed
/home/peter/.cache/pikaur/pkg/meshroom-git-2021.1.0.r134.gf1331c6a-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst'
That causes pacman to abort, but I could continue installing after
removing "--assume-installed", i.e. using:
sudo pacman --color=always --upgrade
/home/peter/.cache/pikaur/pkg/meshroom-git-2021.1.0.r134.gf1331c6a-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
However, that should probably be fixed ...
