Lone_Wolf [1] filed a deletion request for pidgin-gnutls [2]: .SRCINFO has pkgbase=pidgin-gnutls , but PKGBUILD has pkgbase=pidgin . pidgin is a pacakge in official repos and not allowed as an AUR package. The maintainer is aware of this and refused to change pkgbase in PKGBUILD, see https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=257034 In my opinion this package violates AUR submission rules.
