MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for pkgbase [2]: Bogus pkgbase, named pkgbase. Also there's an AURweb bug when AUR has a PKGBUILD for a pkgbase called pkgbase: other deleted packages' pkgbase URL will refer to this package instead of just showing 404 not found. See for example: https://archive.ph/GyPt1 [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/pkgbase/
