Arch checking in. It may happen less. But it still does.

To be fair to Arch, the AUR was always advertised as a caveat emptor type thing. It never really claimed to be secure in the first place.

Python and Ruby have both had various repo issues too.
I’ve never heard of anything similar with Perl, but that may partly be because applications for new developers who want to join CPAN still appear to be processed by humans, with up to a couple of weeks lag. The time inefficiency plus the language being less popular probably makes it an unattractive target.
