FYI, I had old font packages on my system that (obviously) still have this
dependency, causing upgrade to fail:

:: xorg-fonts-alias-100dpi and xorg-fonts-alias are in conflict. Remove xorg-fonts-alias? [y/N] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing xorg-fonts-alias breaks dependency 'xorg-fonts-alias' required by fonts-tlwg
:: removing xorg-fonts-alias breaks dependency 'xorg-fonts-alias' required by ttf-cheapskate
:: removing xorg-fonts-alias breaks dependency 'xorg-fonts-alias' required by ttf-mph-2b-damase
:: removing xorg-fonts-alias breaks dependency 'xorg-fonts-alias' required by ttf-ubraille

This is only midly annoying because I should have cleaned those up long
ago, but maybe put a notice on the website about this change?
