[Solved] Auracle is flagging sdl3 as needing an upgrade

ewaller@odin/~[1]% pacman -Ss sdl3
extra/sdl2-compat 2.30.51-1 [installed]
    An SDL2 compatibility layer that uses SDL3 behind the scenes
extra/sdl3 3.2.0-1 [installed]
    A library for portable low-level access to a video framebuffer, audio output, mouse, and keyboard (Version 3)
ewaller@odin/~% auracle sync          
sdl3 3.2.0-1 -> 1:3.2.0-3
ewaller@odin/~% pacman -Qm | grep sdl
ewaller@odin/~[1]% 

What is happening here?  sdl2-compat requires sdl3.  Pacman just replaced sdl2 with sdl2-compat.  auracle (my 'helper') feels that sdl3 (which is not a foreign package) could be upgraded as a foreign package from the AUR.

Why?  Is this a packaging error?  Did sld3 just move into extra?
I does not really impact me, but this might cause headaches for people if this confuses tool like yay as well.

The AUR package has an epoch added to the version so auricle sees it as "newer". The maintainer has been told: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sdl3#comment-1009217

I think the AUR package should be removed from the AUR now that an official package exists.

sdl3 is still in the AUR for some reason, despite being moved to extra, normally procedure should be that it gets dropped from there.

Does sound like a packaging error/oversight.
