Why are packages in the repositories (seemingly) sometimes downgraded?

Ahoj,

how it comes that sometimes packages in the Artix repositories are actually downgraded?

Currently: world/libxslt is at version 1.1.38-1, where I have installed 1.1.38-1.1. And there was no increment in $epoch.

Disclaimer: I am not sure where I got version 1.1.38-1.1 from, if it maybe was in the omniverse repository and then removed from there? But I have omniverse listed after world in the /etc/makepkg.conf, so such a thing should not have overridden a world/libxslt.

Regards!

Another issue:

A re-installation of omniverse/glib-perl did result in a change of size of -0.01 MiB but $pkgver, $pkgrel and $epoch did not change. So no update was triggered:

yay -Sy --asdeps cairo-perl glib-perl perl-cairo-gobject perl-glib-object-introspection:
Code: [Select]
Package (4)                               Old Version  New Version  Net Change  Download Size

[...]
omniverse/glib-perl                       1.329.3-4    1.329.3-4     -0.01 MiB       0.28 MiB
[...]

Also, omniverse/cairo-perl, omniverse/perl-cairo-gobject and omniverse/perl-glib-object-introspection seem to have been updated within the last 13 days without any increment in $pkgrel.

What is going on?
