In the meanwhile you can try the galaxy one:

Code: [Select]

# pacman -S galaxy/libqalculate

never mind, probably the mirrors hadn't synced, now both have 3.0.1

Alright issue solved. But why the same package is in two different repositories ?

It is not anymore, not on two artix repositories, it may have been a mistake temporarily.
If you mean the one on extra that is an arch repository. For artix to be building its own version there may be a discrepancy with dependencies. It is the same upstream pkg just built around the artix system.
