I'm sorry but I have to use the opportunity :-) - is it ok that package x
have so high priority that it is not possible to upgrade anything else
(like in my case)? If somebody issued a critical security patch for package
y and I did not want to upgrade xorg because of some important reasons, I
would not know about the security update because pacman exits just after I
say "N" to libgl-dri. It is possible there was no dependency between the
packages x and y. 
I'm aware that the solution might not be trivial, I'm just curious, I could
not find anybody else asking the same question, so it seems I'm the only
one that needs it - Ignore me then ;-)

cheers
