In the process of [Xorg cleanup][1] the update requires manual
intervention when you hit this message:

    :: installing xorgproto (2019.2-2) breaks dependency 'inputproto' required by lib32-libxi
    :: installing xorgproto (2019.2-2) breaks dependency 'dmxproto' required by libdmx
    :: installing xorgproto (2019.2-2) breaks dependency 'xf86dgaproto' required by libxxf86dga

when updating, use: `pacman -Rdd libdmx libxxf86dga && pacman -Syu` to perform the upgrade. After the update it will be safe to also remove
the "xorgproto" package.
