[aur-general] AUR not aware of changes in the regular repos

[Rafael Fontenelle]

Daniel,

Are these now removed packages (but not highlighted as missing) from
AUR, or are they from Arch official repositories?

I'm asking this because I'm not sure AURweb highlights missing
packages from official repositories, but only from AUR packages. E.g.
python2-lxml is from official repositories, see:
https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/commit/2c86ef96c722c02037f61fa221e8d14bb296ecc0#diff-3e341d2d9c67be01819b25b25d5e53ea3cdf3a38d28846cda85a195eb9b7203a
