[Solved] Different versions of curl in core and extra

pacman -Syu failed to install the latest version of curl (7.52.1-1) listed on the Arch home page. pacman -Ss '^curl$' gives

core/curl 7.51.0-3 [installed]
    An URL retrieval utility and library
extra/curl 7.52.1-1 [installed: 7.51.0-3]
    An URL retrieval utility and library

The new version is in the extra repository, whereas the prvious version is in core, which prevents the new version being loaded.

Edit: Finished post after I pressed "Submit" instead of "Preview".

Hmm.. I can't find any reference to move curl to extra. It seems like a mistake to me. I have filed a bug: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/52274

Thanks. I considered posting a bug report, but I wasn't sure it was a mistake.

It seems to be fixed already.
