Hi,
A user wanted to create an AUR package for libpng12 but found that there was already a repo when he tried to push it, even though the package does not appear on the site [1]. The log of the existing git repo contains the author's name and email address but there is no account with either. The last update was May 8, 2016. Is this a bug, perhaps due to a deleted account?
I was going to try pushing an update to see if the package re-appears on the site but it's probably better if one of the devs takes a peak to see what's going on.
The package is libpng12.
Regards, Xyne
This is normal. When packages are deleted, the repo remains; the author's name and email are from their git config, not from the AUR.
