The OP obviously did that.

The OP didn't mention "antergos". I suspect he builds from AUR, see
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=lib32-libsecret :

[snip]
_pkgbasename=libsecret
pkgname=lib32-$_pkgbasename
pkgver=0.18.6
[snip]
depends=(lib32-gcc-libs lib32-glib2 lib32-libgcrypt $_pkgbasename=$pkgver)
                                                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So the outdated lib32-libsecret package requires the outdated libsecret
and to build the new lib32-libsecret the new libsecret package is
needed. I already explained how to solve this by my previous reply.
