If you check the aur-requests mailing list, there's probably a deletion request for it, most likely because it's just a meta package. The actual package doesn't exist on the AUR, but the git repo backing it is intact because we don't delete history. Just clone it and commit your changes on top, overwriting everything. ... That being said, I'm not sure there is any good way to install software using wine inside a PKGBUILD, so I'm curious what you're doing... -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
