ttf-bitstream-vera conflict on upgrade

Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade an archlinux 7.1 box and run into the following problem.
I ran #pacman -Syu
then answered yes at the upgrade prompts
and got the message:
ttf-bitstream-vera conflicts woth xorg. Remove xorg?
at this point I'm not sure if answering yes would remove xorg and led to some problem or if I would have to reinstall xorg later in the upgrade.
anyone can tell me how to proceed?

thanks

I suppose not.  All I searched for was "ttf-bitstream-vera conflict"
