[SOLVED] Cannot upgrade secrets due to missing dependency

I just ran a complete system upgrade, which failed to upgrade secret:

~> LANG=C sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 multilib is up to date
 rne is up to date
 rne-prop is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
warning: cannot resolve "python-pyhibp", a dependency of "secrets"
:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
      secrets

:: Do you want to skip the above package for this upgrade? [y/N] y
looking for conflicting packages...
 there is nothing to do
~> LANG=C sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...

 multilib is up to date

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: unable to satisfy dependency 'python-pyhibp' required by secrets
~>

Am I missing something or is there an entire dependency of a package missing from the repos?

Edit: This was already filed as a bug when the new Gnome was still in testing:
https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … -/issues/4
The maintainers probably missed to move all needed dependencies to the stable repo as well.

Update: This appears to have been fixed in the meantime. The dependency is now in the repos.
