I had a package called arch-firefox-search installed from AUR (that was obsolete).
A new package firefox-extension-arch-search (1) was created that includes a replaces=('arch-firefox3-search' 'arch-firefox-search') statement.
I installed firefox-extension-arch-search which replaced arch-firefox-search, I was prompted to remove arch-firefox-search, which I did.
Now If I check I don't have arch-search-firefox installed anymore.
$ pacman -Q arch-search-firefox
error: package 'arch-search-firefox' was not found
Then there was a merge request on AUR so arch-firefox-search was merged to firefox-extension-arch-search. And so the arch-firefox-search namespace doesn't exit anymore on AUR.
Yet kalu still display me this:
$ kalu -m
...
1 packages not found in AUR
- <b>arch-firefox-search</b> (0.8.2-8)
Like if I had arch-firefox-search installed but the package was not in AUR anymore. It's true that arch-firefox-search is not in AUR anymore but I don't have it installed anymore either.
I have to guesses for this behavior:
Due to replaces=('arch-firefox3-search' 'arch-firefox-search'), arch-firefox-search' is still registered in a way in pacman DB.
Due to the fact that arch-firefox-search namespace was merged to firefox-extension-arch-search something unhandled happened that makes kalu believes I still have arch-firefox-search installed?
