Problem: conflicting requests
- package git-2.51.0-2.fc43.aarch64 from fedora requires git-core = 2.51.0-2.fc43, but none of the providers can be installed
- package git-2.52.0-1.fc43.aarch64 from updates requires git-core = 2.52.0-1.fc43, but none of the providers can be installed
- package git-2.52.0-1.fc43.aarch64 from updates-archive requires git-core = 2.52.0-1.fc43, but none of the providers can be installed
- cannot install both git-core-2.51.0-2.fc43.aarch64 from fedora and git-core-2.51.1-1.fc43.aarch64 from @System
- cannot install both git-core-2.52.0-1.fc43.aarch64 from updates and git-core-2.51.1-1.fc43.aarch64 from @System
- cannot install both git-core-2.52.0-1.fc43.aarch64 from updates-archive and git-core-2.51.1-1.fc43.aarch64 from @System
After some investigation I realized git-2.51.1-1 was not added to f43/aarch64.
$ repoquery --repofrompath=tmp-1,https://fedoraproject-updates-archive.fedoraproject.org/fedora/43/aarch64 --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=tmp-* git
git-0:2.52.0-1.fc43.aarch64
whereas in x86_64
repoquery --repofrompath=tmp-1,https://fedoraproject-updates-archive.fedoraproject.org/fedora/43/x86_64 --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=tmp-* git
git-0:2.51.1-1.fc43.x86_64
git-0:2.52.0-1.fc43.x86_64
Later on @dustymabe clarified the situation by showing the archive-repo-manager logs:

The proposed solution is to add some retry mechanism in https://pagure.io/releng/archive-repo-manager when downloading the subpackages to have more guarantee.
