If you mean comical, that one is permanently moving to Livna (getting dropped
from Extras) because of licensing issues with the included RAR decompression
code. See:

Yep, it's Comical. Is this that rare of a situation that you can
pinpoint the rpm? In this case I don't mind the repo switch if Extras
no longer will hold Comical. But shouldn't there be a warning message
that pops up when a repo switch occurs? It's not really a situation
of prohibiting this behaviour with protectbase, or allowing it by
default, but more or less being able to be aware that the rpm is being
pulled from another repo. I was curious and discovered this in the
details. Seems like a feature that would be worth putting into Pup,
along with the standard 'do you want to see this warning in the
future?'.
