So the qubes-package is tied to a specific version of those packages:
if you force an upgrade on them you *may* break the qubes-package.
You can try the upgrade and see what happens, or you could put pulseaudio
and xorg-server in IgnorePkg in pacman.conf. Likely this will break
something, so you may have to fall back to ignoring whole groups, but
it's worth trying.

Remember that even if you hose your qube, so that graphics don't work,
you can usually connect in with xl console , and try to fix things up
from there.

Also, you should clone the template, and try the forced upgrade in
the clone. If it does not work and you are short of time the you can simply
switch back to the original template. If it works OK, then carry on using
the updated template.
