Hi,

you misunderstood the request, probably because the maintainer did not
explain it correctly.

The issue is that he initially cloned https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase.git
literally, instead of replacing "pkgbase" in the URL with the name of
the package name (in this case "sse-bin").

I asked him to request deletion for this wrong package so he can submit a
proper one with the correct `pkgbase` (I believe he cannot do that without
deletion first, because otherwise there will be a name conflict). It was
not meant to get repository removed.

This has been a long standing issue in the AUR with people who
misunderstand the submission instructions.  You can see evidence of this
if you look at the git history [0] of "pkgbase", which is littered with
badly submitted packages.

I remember there was an open issue regarding this (I cannot find it, maybe
there wasn't), but here is a related issue [1]. Also look at the many
previous deletion requests for pkgbase [2], which has been accepted.
