OrPudding [1] filed a deletion request for astro-box [2]:

Original submitter (OrPudding)  here.

Upstream AstroBox v1 has reached end-of-life and is no longer
maintained
by AstralSightStudios. The official successor is AstroBox-NG (v2),
already
packaged as `astrobox-ng` in AUR.

This package was orphaned after v1 EOL, subsequently adopted by
ditapavlikova / Antiz, and was listed among the malicious packages in
the July 2026 AUR supply-chain attack wave (alongside i915-sriov-dkms,
rtk-git, warp-terminal-git, weather-display, etc.). While the
malicious
commits appear to have been reverted by TUs, the package remains a
security liability and source of user confusion.

Requesting deletion to prevent users from installing an unmaintained,
superseded package with a compromised maintenance history. The
successor
`astrobox-ng` is actively maintained.
