lib32-expat is a version behind

Tried to push todays updates, and I can't because expat (2.4.3-1) is a version ahead of lib32-expat (2.4.2) which need to be the same, so this prevents updating entirely.

The version of system/expat is 2.4.2-1. Never use Arch's core repository, use Artix's system repository instead.

Note that the core repository should never be used in Artix. It is completely replaced by system and it's guaranteed to break your setup if you enable it, as it contains many packages depending on systemd. The latest mirrorlist is available at our source repository.

Currently, both the packages system/expat and lib32/lib32-expat have the version 2.4.3-1. At the time when I posted (10:26 GMT+1), system/expat was at 2.4.2-1.

https://gitea.artixlinux.org/packagesE/expat/commits/branch/master

Possible explanation is that the OP has gremlins repository enabled, and obtained gremlins/expat, which was 2.4.3-1 at the time.

2.4.3-1 being moved to gremlins at 21:04 CET = 21:04 GMT+1 Jan 16th
2.4.3-1 being moved to system at 10:12 CET = 10:12 GMT+1 Jan 17th; add ~1 hour needed for mirrors to propagate, and there you have it.

Thread was created at 1:46 Jan 17th GMT+1, when 2.4.3-1 was in gremlins.

Edit: And lib32-expat 2.4.3-1 was in lib32-gremlins, so most likely it is due to lib32-gremlins/lib32-expat 2.4.3-1 being used without gremlins and not finding expat 2.4.3-1 in system (it was in gremlins).

Most users shouldn't use any *gremlins repositories. See below:

Warning! testing is what the name asserts: testing. In Artix, these packages go through the gremlins repositories for a period of time. Only enable these if you are an experienced user and know how to deal with system breakage.
