Just had a look, but now 'mprime' also has comments for itself. So I'd suggest to merge mprime-bin (with its votes/comments) to mprime, then you just re-upload the mprime-bin package. Please let me know if this is ok so I proceed, or maybe a better approach? :D

Hi Felix. If you do that, and I then reup mprime-bin, won't that mean all the votes will be with the mprime package? That is not a reflection of reality. The votes/comments should stay with the mprime-bin package. What do you think?

Your mistake was to update the mprime package before requesting a merge. You were probably not aware of the merge functionality that TUs have access to. The merge is one way -- meaning, you can't copy and retain data for reuse more than once. Now, your original package has new comments that are only relevant since the update. Your mprime-bin is a loner at this point. Barring intervention from an AUR developer, you have to sacrifice data of either one of the packages. For -bin: 1. Backup mprime 2. Merge mprime into mprime-bin 3. Delete non-relevant comments from mprime-bin 4. Reupload mprime from backup This should work to retain mprime-bin's data, but I'm not intricately familiar with the process. Unfortunately, you can't remove non-relevant votes (but you can tell others to remove theirs).

I have both backed-up here. Can you or another TU implement this 4 step plan?

Sorry, this got lost. I thought Felix was already helping you. Anyway, merged. You can now take over from (3). -- GPG/PGP ID: C0711BF1
