Yay replaces pacman package with AUR package on package rename

[agboom]

Affected Version

yay v12.4.2 - libalpm v15.0.0

Describe the bug

When package from pacman repo is renamed (e.g. extra/sdl2 to extra/sdl2-compat), Yay tries to install a package with the old name from the AUR (e.g. aur/sdl2), even if its dependents are only pacman packages (non AUR).

Reproduction Steps

1. Have extra/sdl2 installed from official repos (e.g. through extra/ffmpeg)
2. Run yay
3. Observe line saying 1 aur/sdl2 2.30.11-1 -> 2.30.11-2

Expected behavior

Yay should not substitute AUR packages for pacman packages with the same name (e.g. extra/sdl2 to aur/sdl2).

Output

Since my system is already updated I cannot reproduce it with debug enabled. If there's any other way please let me know.

Setting this as a feature request as we'd have to keep track of the source on yay's side (not something supported by pacman)
