All,

  Attempting to upgrade tonight I am met with a fontsproto breaks dependency
'fontsproto>=2.1.3' error and pacman quits. Is this a repo-sync issue or is
this a bug?

  Let me know if I need to open a ticket, if not I'll just wait and see if
something is posted on archlinux.org or the mirrors fix this problem...
