[artix-general] [artix-geral] packages dropped, I believe from Universe, specially autofs-s6 and sequoia-octopus-librnp

[artist]

Hi Javier,

No packages have been dropped from the universe repo lately, but for 
some reason they are no longer found in it's database. Re-adding seems 
to fix this but as I continued to find packages with this problem I have 
now added all packages back again. If the problems persists I'll rebuild 
the database from scratch.
The packages you mention should be available right now, and we will keep 
updating them as usual.

The whole universe remains for all of us.

You might also find some useful packages in the omniverse repo as in 
https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Repositories#Unofficial_User_Repositories

Regards,
artist
