newsboost [1] filed a deletion request for stegsnow [2]:

Hi. Today I tried to install this:

Cloning into bare repository
'/home/user/.cache/yay/stegsnow/stegsnow'...
fatal: repository 'https://anonscm.debian.org/git/collab-
maint/stegsnow.git/' not found
==> ERROR: Failure while downloading stegsnow git repo

Then I saw that almost a year ago, the user "toranova" commented on
2022-04-05 07:39 (UTC): "changing the source to
https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-security-team/stegsnow.git helped solve
the problem." - I now see that this is completely the same as:
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=stegsnow-git

So either both should be merged - or this one (which doesn't work)
should be deleted. But since this comment has been written almost a
whole year ago and the maintainer only is responsible for this single
package, I'm pretty sure this package is orphaned (otherwise the
PKGBUILD should've been fixed). The easiest thing is to just delete
this package and users who want to install it, in the future will just
use "stegsnow-git" - which I also just installed. Delete this package
and there's only one of them and no confusion and I believe the
maintainer has orphaned this.

Thanks,
Br,
M.
