Hello,
I'm trying to upgrade Xorg server to testing but it conficts with libxfont2 and it seems like I have libxfont not libxfont2. Here is what I'm trying:

#sudo pacman -Syyu

Mod note: Moving to Testing.

EDIT: As you're using testing, you're probably not too concerned by potential breakage, however I would still recommend that you remove archlinuxfr.

Why are you using [testing] if you don't know how to administer your machine?

Arch + dwm   •   Mercurial repos  •   Surfraw

The link tells you exactly what to do; it doesn't just say to use --force.

Because I want to get rid of tearing as I read that the latest xorg-server can fix this. I know how to administer my machine but I'm just not that advanced to know what it can cause to ignore this error.

I simply asked for it in here because I don't know what this package doing exactly and is it safe to ignore this error.
