MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for aster [2]: Unused orphan library from 2016. Only the broken orphan salome-aster plugin from same year depends on it, and I've submitted that as well for deletion. Former owner of most of the legacy salome packages, @gbs was asked a year ago if those old, broken package are still needed. They now disowned them so it is also an indication that such packages can be safely deleted. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/aster/
