I still can’t update due to:

➜  ~ sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra                                                                             8.1 MiB  10.4 MiB/s 00:01 [################################################################] 100%

:: installing expat (2.6.4-1) breaks dependency 'expat=2.6.3' required by lib32-expat

Check list of packages to be updated includes expat and lib32-expat

Manjaro 2024-11-13 Testing Update 

PACKAGE         2024-11-06    2024-11-13

expat              2.6.3-2       2.6.4-1

lib32-expat        2.6.3-1       2.6.4-1

solved by sudo pacman -Rdd lib32-expat and then pacman -Syu

updated:

/etc/pacman.conf was disabled

[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

by some reason. Enabling this solved this issue
