Replace pacman-mirrors?

Posting this here since Testing update announcement closed:

Transition to manjaro-mirrors was not completely seamless

Updating all packages including AUR with pamac update requested installing AUR/WSL package pacman-mirrors

Updating with pamac update --no-aur worked for installing manjaro-mirrors but system was switched from testing to stable branch

Switched back to testing branch: sudo pacman-mirrors --api --set-branch testing
Testing branch had another update for manjaro-mirrors

To upgrade (1):
  manjaro-mirrors  4.23.2+2+g2f58b3c-2  (4.23.2+2+g2f58b3c-1)  core  152.2 kB

No change of branch after this update

With the pacman-mirrors 4.23.2+2+g2f58b3c-3 all should be back to normal actually, but you can still check the /etc/pacman-mirrors.conf if the branch line is commented or switched to stable and you had it set to testing or unstable prior the manjaro-mirrors ā€¦

So iā€™m assuming the conflict was resloved?

my system is trying to switch manjaro-mirrors with core/pacman-mirrors. What should I do? On every post about it the system is trying to switch the other way around.

Im in Stable and want to keep in that way.

Refresh your mirrors and then update your repositories.

If it persists, wait a bit, the mirrors might not reflect the updated state.
