Hi every body,
I got a similar error :

sudo pacman -Suy
:: Synchronisation des bases de données de paquets…
  core est à jour
  extra est à jour
  community est à jour
:: Début de la mise à jour complète du système…
résolution des dépendances…
recherche des conflits entre paquets…
:: xorg-fonts-alias-100dpi et xorg-fonts-alias sont en conflit. 
Supprimer xorg-fonts-alias ? [o/N]
erreur : un conflit de paquets impossible à résoudre a été détecté
erreur : la préparation de la transaction a échoué (conflit de dépendances)
:: xorg-fonts-alias-100dpi et xorg-fonts-alias sont en conflit

In English it says something like :
error: conflicting packages detected unresolvable
error: could not prepare transaction (dependency conflict)
:: xorg-fonts-alias-100dpi and xorg-fonts-alias are in conflict

On my system :
pacman -Qs xorg-fonts
local/xorg-font-util 1.3.2-2 (xorg-fonts xorg)
     X.Org font utilities
local/xorg-fonts-100dpi 1.0.3-6 (xorg)
     X.org 100dpi fonts
local/xorg-fonts-alias 1.0.3-3
     X.org font alias files
local/xorg-fonts-encodings 1.0.5-2 (xorg-fonts xorg)
     X.org font encoding files

So xorg-fonts-alias-100dpi is not installed.

In my case AUR is not concerned.
