[Solved] Push new PKGBUILD to AUR is impossible because repo exists
Hello there,
After a full system upgrade, one of my AUR programs stopped working because it was using libpng12.so (it is an old and closed-source software). I copied a libpng14 PKGBUILD from AUR and tweaked it in order to build libpng12 instead of libpng14. The libpng12 package is unlisted on AUR but when I clone ssh://aur@aur.archlinux.org/libpng12.git the repository is not empty.
The question is: why the repo is not empty if the package is not listed on AUR, and how can I do to push my PKGBUILD with this name?
Thanks for your help.

I have posted a message on the AUR-dev mailing list. The omission of the package from the index is probably a bug. It may reappear if I push it from my TU account, but it's best to let the devs analyze it first.

As I posted on the mailing list, this is normal. When a package is deleted from the AUR, the repo is not, so you must start with that repo when remaking the package.
It was deleted because it's already in Community: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … /libpng12/

As far as I know the underlying git repository is not deleted if a package is removed from AUR.

I didn't think to check if the package already exists in the repos. It does (community/libpng12), so it cannot be recreated in the AUR.

Oh well, my problem was so specific I only checked AUR instead of looking in community. Thanks for your help, marking this as solved.
