AFAICS the real problem here is that an update got unpushed. It

like Richard got the 64-bit version of libvirt -3 installed, then the -3
update got unpushed, then something wanted to install the 32-bit version
of libvirt. Obviously, since the update had been unpushed, it was
impossible to find the matching 32-bit version.
As long as updates can be unpushed, that one can pop up.
Oh, so this is yet another example of fallout from the braindead decision to
enable updates-testing by default for Branched.
The other classic case where we get a lot of this (and similar
errors)
is when we push the fedora-release update which disables
updates-testing; people have the 64-bit version of something installed
from updates-testing, then they need to have the 32-bit version
installed, but now updates-testing is disabled...
And that's the other reason why that decision is broken.
updates-testing should NEVER be on by default. There is no expectation of
upgrade path in updates-testing (whereas there is one even in Rawhide!), so
enabling it by default is very broken.
