pacman -Syu and xorgproto after a few months of no updates

I'm having some errors when trying to upgrade my system using pacman because of xorgproto and some KDE package naming changes after a while away from my Arch partition . Any light?

I've tried running pacman -Rs libxfont as advised on some other threads, but it's part of quite a large dependency chain on my install (libxfont -> xorg-bdftopcf -> xorg-font-utils -> xorg-fonts-misc (and 3 other ttf packages) -> xorg-server-common...)

Re: pacman -Syu and xorgproto after a few months of no updates

If that is indeed your only issue

pacman -Rdd libxfont

followed by a proper update.

However depending on how long ago your last update was, it might be safer to do incremental updates using the Arch Linux Archive especially if there are many manual intervention points.

Re: pacman -Syu and xorgproto after a few months of no updates

Thanks for the quick response!

Though, in this 20-or-so-minute span I managed to completely break my install to the point it's giving me kernel panics on boot (I just ran

pacman -S nvidia

which updated the kernel as a dep and broke everything). Will try a reinstall when I have the time.
