[solved] libidn update puzzle

I see this message when trying pacman -Syu

warning: cannot resolve "libidn>=1.32", a dependency of "lib32-libidn"
:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
      lib32-libidn

:: Do you want to skip the above package for this upgrade? [y/N] 

pacman -Qs reveals

$ pacman -Qs libidn
local/lib32-libidn 1.30-1
    Implementation of the Stringprep, Punycode and IDNA specifications (32 bit)
local/libidn 1.30-1
    Implementation of the Stringprep, Punycode and IDNA specifications

Inspection of the latest packages for libidn reveals it is at 1.30-1 so what is requiring the update?

Edit: turned out pacman.conf.[multilib-testing] was enabled for some reason.

Re: [solved] libidn update puzzle

What's the output of

uname -a

?
What changes to the pacman configuration did you make recently?

Re: [solved] libidn update puzzle

libidn 1.32 is in testing. Since you get an error for lib32-libidn, have you forgotten to enable multilib-testing as well?
It is also possible that at the time of your update your mirror was out of sync and the testing repo was newer than the multilib-testing copy. In that case, simply try it again now (a few hours after your first try).

Edit: Clarified wording

FTFY.
lib32-libidn is in multilib-testing, so OP might be the third person in just several hours who enabled one testing repo w/o enabling the other.

Re: [solved] libidn update puzzle

Apologies, for some reason [multilib-testing] was enabled along with [multilib], don't know how that happened, but the replies here lead me to the answer.

Exactly the same happened to me! That's weird, I've no idea how that happened.

Thanks for posting your solution.
