MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for bin32-jre6 [2]:

Orphaned package, last updated in 2017.

Oracle blocks access to the linked policy file,
and the declared Dropbox source is gone.

This package was a 32-bit binary JRE 6 for x86_64 architecture.
It is not actually needed on 64-bit hardware. Also EOL 2013.

Its only consumer on AUR is gwclient:
Novell Groupwise 8 Client for Linux (released 2012, EOL 2014).
(That package is not buildable; sources gone from Novell;
current GroupWise Server also blocks access to EOL clients).

Anyway, even if worked, gwclient does not need a
32-bit JRE 6 (or any 32-bit JRE) on x86_64.

As this package is long orphaned and defunct, it's best
to delete it at this point in my opinion, not worth the hassle.
There are many working Java runtime versions available.
