MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for
com.taobao.aliclient.qianniu.deepin [2]:

Unmaintained, orphaned package, last updated in 2020.
Package source got deleted (404).

This package is for Taobao Client v7.22 but current release is v9.0.

I don't know if the new version needs Wine or not,
but the website advertises it as a "brand new PC client".

Also, this seems like a closed-distribution application, available
only after subscribing to the provider as a webshop owner.

During the last year Deepin has discontinued the distribution of
unlicensed third-party binary packages.

Whoever wants to use the Taobao client has to legally register with
the company to acquire a copy of this software.

It's safe to delete since Deepin does not carry this package anymore.
Also nothing in AUR depends on it.
