MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for klampt [2]:

Broken, abandoned package from 2015.

Depends on python2, python2-opengl and qt4; also its required
krislibrary-git is not buildable (tried to fix the latter, but I don't
have sufficient knowledge for it).

There are no upstream release tags since 2017. [a]

Master branch code is compatible with Qt5 / Python3.
An AUR/klampt-git package would be ideal, based on upstream's release
cadence.

But it would need a maintainer who is comfortable with C++/Qt5/OpenGL
build debugging.
(AUR/krislibrary-git's build failures seem to be related to the most
complicated one among that list: OpenGL/FreeGlut.)

It seems not useful to keep this dead package on AUR.
Upstream provides prebuilt binaries, those would be the easiest for
users to get a hold of (or to create a working 'klampt-bin' from
them).
