[SOLVED]Fontsproto is replaced by extra/xorgproto which breaks libxfon

Hi guys, I've ran into trouble while upgrading my system. When I do pacman -Syu, I get a lot of replacement warnings, to which I confirm, and the upgrade stops because it says that libxfont needs fontsproto.

Here is the full output (it's in portuguese but I think you can understand):

"

"

As you can see from the last line, it says that by removing fonstproto the dependency of fontsproto>=2.1.3 for libxfont is broken, and so it stops.

I tried saying no to replacing fontsproto by  extra/xorgproto :
"
:: Substituir fontsproto por extra/xorgproto? [S/n] n
"

But at the end it will ask if I want to remove fontsproto:

"
:: xorgproto e fontsproto estão em conflito. Remover fontsproto? [s/N]
"

If I say yes, the same error appears:

"
:: libxfont: ao remover fontsproto quebra a dependência 'fontsproto>=2.1.3'
"

and if I say no, then it says xorgproto and fontsproto are in conflict and the upgrade stops aswell:
"
:: xorgproto e fontsproto estão em conflito
"

Any help is very much apreciated.

Edit the thread, wrap the output in "code tags" and export LC_ALL=C before running the commands to produce english output.

Search before posting, it's already treated: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=234361

Also post command output in English language by prefixing the command with 'LANG=C'.

Ok I should have searched for this problem before posting, sorry. Everything is working now!
I don't think there's any point at editing the original thread to have the code formated and in english, since it's solved, so I'll leave it as it is.
