AUR/avogadroapp already has provides=avogadro2.

The project itself most likely had a good reason to choose "avogadroapp" as the 
repo name - maybe they wanted to go for a future-proof designation, in case 
they later reach Avogadro 3 and higher main versions.

The avogadro2 package looks like an unfriendly takeover attempt from the 
longer-existing AUR/avogadroapp.
