1. You are building lib32-libsecret from AUR. So it doesn't depend to
this mailing list.

2. Just force to install the dependency $_pkgbasename=$pkgver, aka
libsecret=0.18.6 and break the dependency libsecret=0.18.5+14+g9980655,
which seemingly is the a dependency for the outdated
lib32-libsecret package (and perhaps other packages, too, which is not
that hard to check ;). To avoid partial upgrades, you anyway need to
install libsecret 0.18.6 and rebuild any local/inofficial package
against libsecret 0.18.6, if it should be a dependency.
