MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ros2-foxy [2]:

Unneeded, defunct package.
ROS 2 Foxy distribution was based on Ubuntu 20.04, and is EOL since
March 2023.

On AUR it depends on broken packages, and it is also incompatible with
many of Arch core's new library versions.

Actually it doesn't make sense to maintain old foreign distro packages
on Arch which are targeted for legacy Ubuntu LTS versions, because
Arch is a leading-edge rolling distro, whose aim and offering is
freshness, not very long backwards compatibility with ancient
toolchains and system libraries.

Arch users should migrate to the newest maintained ROS 2 distribution
(Iron Irwini), or better yet, ROS 2 Rolling. (Packages for both are
available on AUR.) Or they could just use the main upstream ROS
distribution images.
