MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mssql-cli [2]: Orphan package, deprecated and replaced by upstream with the following new package: https://github.com/microsoft/go-sqlcmd There's an AUR package for that: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/go-sqlcmd The new sqlcmd is at v1.2.1, and is considered stable and mature by Microsoft. Safe to delete this unneeded legacy package. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/mssql-cli/
