gim [1] filed a deletion request for hwinfo-src [2]: Duplicate package. "hwinfo" already exists in official repository. Maintainer says that "this package you can install in archlinux-arm, hwinfo from community doesn't work on it". Can't ABS resolve this kind of issues? Anyway, I couldn't find anything in ArchWiki about this kind of exceptions which allows to upload such duplicates, so I'm assuming it was uploaded against the rules (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR#Submitting_packages). It also applies to https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libx86emu-src/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/gim/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/hwinfo-src/
