missing package

hey all,

when updating my aur packages with yay over the last couple of weeks, I've noticed I get a message saying a package is missing/deleted from aur (ava-plugins), I've searched aur, the aur archive on github, and I cannot find this package anywhere, I even tried the github location, since the wiki mentions it will still be there., but it's not. it's like it's been scrubbed by the higher ups to never exist.

when I look in:

~/.cache/yay/ava-plugins/

I see the last time it was updated was on july 2: ava-plugins-20210702-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

any idea where/how I can see where this package went?

Re: missing package

It can still be retrieved by cloning, but a quick peek at the PKGBUILD raises several red flags .

I'd look on aur request mailing list for a deletion request .

Re: missing package

@Lone_Wolf,

I checked the mailing list during my searching, and I cannot find a mention of it.
what flags does it raise, I'm not sure what I'm looking at. would love to learn what to look out for.

Re: missing package

It modifies the home directory (extracting to `xdg-user-dir DOWNLOADS`), that alone is an immediate grounds for removal.

Re: missing package

@alad,

thanx for the explanation.do you know if the package maintainer will fix this, or is it gone for good?

Re: missing package

It doesn't extract to the user's home directory, but it links to a file it assumes is in the user's "Donwloads" directory.  It should just look in the current working directory as any other PKGBUILD that requires the user to independently download their own source archive.

NixIT, there is no maintainer, so no, they will not fix it (or "yes" because "nobody" is the maintainer, and "nobody will fix it").  There's hardly even a need for a PKGBUILD for this, all it does it extracts the archive and copies over the *.so files.
