Hello everybody,
Today i was notified by the AUR system that somebody called "arcanis" silently merged the package "python2-vdirsyncer" into "vdirsyncer", leaving other packages with missing dependencies.
Vdirsyncer runs under both Python 2 and 3. It can be used as a library, but is more commonly used as a CLI tool. The Python 2 version was required by khal-git, as Khal doesn't work under Python 3. The Python 3 version still resides under the package name "vdirsyncer" and is there for the sake of completeness, and because Python 3 is technically the most up-to-date version of Python. It can be used independently of khal.
khal-git: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/khal-git/ vdirsyncer: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vdirsyncer/
I also couldn't find a mailinglist about this, therefore i assume this is a mistake. Please restore the package "python2-vdirsyncer".
The mailing list is aur-requests, see [1]. Packages cannot be restored after merging. Packages can be resubmitted at any time, though. You may want to consider renaming it to python-vdirsyncer before doing so.
Thanks, Markus
