MayorBender [1] filed a deletion request for lib50 [2]:

This package should be deleted for two reasons.

The first is that it's already easily install-able through the Package
Installer for Python (pip) here: https://pypi.org/project/lib50/

The second is that its dependencies conflict with what's provided by
Arch repos.
For example, it depends on  depends on attrs version >=18.1,<21. This
conflicts with the upstream version of attrs, which is 21.4.0 and is
the one the Arch repos provide. Meaning the AUR installed version will
fail to run and the user will have to install it through pip anyways.

Note: I am the original submitter of this PKGBUILD and maintain all
AUR packages related to CS50.
I tried to find a reasonable way to keep this package up to date in
the AUR but considering the dependency conflicts, it no longer makes
sense to keep it in the AUR.
I will continue to maintain packages related to CS50 that make sense
to maintain, such as the libcs50 & libcs50-git packages since they are
not easily install-able elsewhere nor do they have annoying dependency
conflicts.
