cannot resolve zlib=1:1.3.1

Greetings friends, I apologize if this is trivial but I still have lots to learn.

I'm trying to run a system update and I get this message

Code: [Select]
warning: cannot resolve "zlib=1:1.3.1", a dependency of "lib32-zlib"
warning: cannot resolve "zlib=1:1.3.1", a dependency of "lib32-zlib"
:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
      lib32-zlib

I tried installing the two packages manually hoping for something to change, it didn't.
I tried looking up the issue and found a reddit thread where it was suggested that multilib-testing was enabled without other testing repos enabled, as far as I know however I have no testing repos enabled, I checked /etc/pacman.conf and searched for testing in the file, found nothing so unless I misunderstand how to find it then the problem might be elsewhere.
Again, lacking experience these were the things I could try, what else could I do?
Oh, I also searched this forum for zlib, but I only found messages from last month at best and the problem didn't show up back then, so I suspect this is unrelated to the threads I found.

Check with
Code: [Select]
 pacman -Qi lib32-zlib
if any package requires lib32-zlib.
If it shows
Code: [Select]
Required By     : None
you can remove lib32-zlib.

If it is required check lib32 is enabled in /etc/pacman.conf
enabled
Code: [Select]
[lib32]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
not enabled
Code: [Select]
#[lib32]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
</hunch>

Hi gripped, thanks for the post.
I checked and it's required by a bunch of things, I tried enabling lib32, followed by a pacman -Syu but it sadly didn't do the trick.

That's weird if it wasn't enabled but enabling made no difference.

Can you post the entirety of pacman -Syyu please. Maybe even throw in --debug

Your post shows that you don't have lib32 (Artix) enabled and do have multiilib (Arch) enabled.

That could be the problem? Either way that setup is almost bound to be an issue at some point.

Yes, sorry it took me a while to reply. You know, work and sleep.
Anyhow, output too long so I'll just put it on pastebin https://pastebin.com/PWFqqwUc
I'm a bit of a silly dummy and I forget to update sometimes, I don't think it's the reason in this case though.

I should have asked this to begin with. Post both
Code: [Select]
pacman -Qi zlib
and
Code: [Select]
pacman -Qi lib32-zlib

Edit:
I think you'll find you have Arch version of zlib and if you do
Code: [Select]
pacman -S system/zlib
You'll be able to update the system ?

I did update the system before using this but without the package causing issues.
As of now, that package is still being a problem.

I think if you just wait it will resolve itself
The versions of the built packages on the mirrors are behind the versions of the build files on https://gitea.artixlinux.org/explore/repos
1.3 vs 1.3.1
Finger crossed and sorry for the wild goose chase

Thanks I figured out my issue. I had:

Code: [Select]
#[lib32]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

I uncommented [lib32]


Code: [Select]
[lib32]

Now I have to figure this out:

Ok I figured it out. Needed to install lib32-artix-archlinux-support and then one by one install those packages from pacman which took over the paru AUR installations

Code: [Select]
pacman -Syy
(re)Installing specifying lib32
Code: [Select]
pacman -S lib32/lib32-glib2  lib32/lib32-libpulse lib32/lib32-nss lib32/lib32-pam lib32/lib32-udev lib32/lib32-dbus

Check it looks sane before you click yes and I offer no warranty ;)
