diabonas [1] filed a deletion request for plymouth-legacy [2]: Orphan package that was last updated in 2015 and currently fails to build with a linking error. It packages the old version 0.8.8 of plymouth, the current version 0.9.4 is packaged as the AUR package "plymouth". As the current version should be sufficiently stable by now, I see no need for the legacy package any more.
