Hi Marcell,
actually, I just remembered why the original maintainer didn't add those
attributes. Because xdg-utils-no-open is meant to be used with packages
like linopen, mimi, busking, or mimejs it should not provide or conflict
with xdg-utils, because those packages already provide xdg-utils (to be
correct only the xdg-open binary without the additional utilities). So,
I believe I should revert my last commit here. That was the reason why I
didn’t add provides and conflicts fields in response to the request
from 2022.

But I still see no point in keeping this package.
There is no maintained alternative of xdg-open on AUR, and that script
is still needed by many applications.
So this package will just break lots of things.
Also it is still outdated compared to repo version of xdg-utils.

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for xdg-utils-no-open [2]:
Abandoned mod of repo's xdg-utils.
Last updated in 2018.
Badly packaged: no provides or conflicts.
Cannot be installed on most systems because of this.
There is only one comment: a user mentions this same problem in
2022-11. They got no reply from maintainer.
Better to delete this defunct package.
