The home-page URL <https://rapicorn.testbit.org/> is "Not found", as
the source <https://testbit.eu/pub/dists/rapicorn/rapicorn-16.0.0.tar.xz>.
And Github <https://github.com/tim-janik/rapicorn> says that the last
commit is 2017 (I do not know if it is the main upstream repo).

The package beast does not build either, but that's another story.

Well, I suggest removing both.

And this asks how to detect automatically and report broken packages.
Another story (Data Service or Cuirass). :-)


Cheers,
