Hi, recently, I've been alerted by a user of one of my packages to the fact that one direct dependency and several dependencies down the tree are no longer available in the regular repos. However, they are not marked in the usual way in the AUR UI (disabled link, bold, red) and when I tried to push the affected package to the AUR, I get denied, 'cause AUR still thinks it's available in the regular repos:
remote: error: package already provided by [community]: python2-beautifulsoup4 remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master
I suspect the aurblup script stopped working/being called, but I'm not familiar with the codebase, so I'm not able to investigate/fix further.
An example: python2-lxml is no longer available, but nothing changed on the AUR package page for mailpile.
Thanks, Daniel Peukert
Just chiming in to confirm that this issue occurs elsewhere on the AUR.
One of promscale[0]'s dependencies, timescaledb[1] was moved to community repository recently and doesn't appear to have a link on the promscale AUR page.

George,
I see that timescaledb moved from AUR to official repositories 18 days ago, but it seems its link in the promscale's page in AUR web interface wasn't updated automatically. I believe the info on the package page in AURweb is only updated when there is a change in .SRCINFO file.
Can you try changing, committing and pushing a change in .SRCINFO, to see if that link is fixed?
Best regards, Rafael Fontenelle

I don't think that's the case (or at least it wasn't until recently), because about a week prior to the message I mentioned, two more dependencies (python2-markupsafe and python2-jinja) got removed from the regular repos and showed up in red pretty much immediately and switched to AUR links when I pushed the two packages to the AUR, all this with no commits or pushes to the parent package.

The package in question (promscale) has been updated recently and the link has not changed.

Daniel,
Are these now removed packages (but not highlighted as missing) from AUR, or are they from Arch official repositories?
I'm asking this because I'm not sure AURweb highlights missing packages from official repositories, but only from AUR packages. E.g. python2-lxml is from official repositories, see: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/commit/2c86ef96c722c02037f61f...

They were in the official repositories until recently (probably removed due to the ongoing effort to get rid of python2 apps & deps) and as of now, they are not available in the AUR. I've got the PKGBUILDS ready[0] to push them there, but as I mentioned in the original email, it won't let me.

AFAIK it works/worked for both, I found python2-autowig[1], which depends on python2-parse (removed from the community repo in October 2019[2] and not uploaded to the AUR as of today) and the package page has it marked in red.
python2-lxml is from official repositories, see: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/commit/2c86ef96c722c02037f61f...
Yes, it was, but the commit you're referencing is the one that removed it from there.

Thanks for linking the bug report! The issue also affects libunique (had to improvise to install Shutter today). Is there anything that can be done by AUR users to get this fixed sooner?
