(spacemacs) package evil-escape is unavailable. Is the package misspelled? (It's not in melpa)

Hey, I'm using Emacs 28.2 on windows and Emacs 28.1 on Mac. Same issue on both. Spacemacs wants to install evil-escape, but it does not seem to exist. [https://github.com/syl20bnr/evil-escape](https://github.com/syl20bnr/evil-escape) (Claims the package exists in Melpa) [https://melpa.org/#/?q=esca](https://melpa.org/#/?q=esca) (this query shows evil-escape does NOT exist in Melpa) [https://melpa.org/#/?q=evil](https://melpa.org/#/?q=evil) (this query also fails to find evil-escape) So... what da heck? I hate to do this improperly but do I need to manually download evil-escape from github (first link) and stick it in the .emacs.d folder myself? Or is Melpa broken? Or spacemacs?

sounds like a real issue... this package hasn't been updated for four years (though it's still working) I've no idea why melpa doesn't offer it suddenly.

I guess the proper thing to do is open an issue on spacemacs? But this seems like a Melpa thing too

yep. it should be reported to both of them.
