[aur-general] Fwd: Re: [PRQ#4315] Deletion Request for python2-radicale

[Hugo Osvaldo Barrera]

Even after the following discussion on aur-requets, python2-radicale was
deleted. There's not a full tree of broken packages, since this
dependency is missing.

I'm amazed at how the TU ignored the whole thread AND the fact that
other packages explicitly depend on this one.

Can we have this package restored?
