MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-rpm [2]: Obsolete, discontinued, badly packaged Python2 bindings library. Does not support the binary ABI headers of the current librpm.so carried by extra/rpm-tools. When the latter is installed to satisfy the librpm.so requirement, it crashes with the following exception message: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rpm/_rpm.so: undefined symbol: rpmdsSetNoPromote [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python2-rpm/
