MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-loki [2]:

Orphaned Python2 (!) package with a wrong name prefix.
Last release was in 2011.

This was only a Gtk2-based frontend for some Python 2 based CLI
network cracking tools.

I've tried to build it just in case, but it fails because of undefined
references in functions related to DES encryption.
(And the errors are not because of LTO or -Werror=format-security; as
it fails the same way with these options disabled).

Also it does not have a maintainer, and neither does its core
dependency, python2-dpkt, used for packet injection.

There are zero user comments on this now deprecated, broken and
abandoned package.
So I think it is safe to delete from AUR.
