Having trouble with updating xorg-server

Hello!

For starts: I am a bit of a newbie to Arch, I'm just trying to learn my way.

I'm trying to update my system, as I haven't done it since I installed a couple months ago. Because it has been so long, I'm pretty sure that a pacman -Syu would break it so I've avoided doing that. Instead, I have went through my programs and updated the ones I know will not break my system. I'm left with as follows:

So it says that xorg-server and xf86-input-libinput are in conflict, but when I remove xf86-input-libinput, it says that xorg-server requires it. Does anyone know what the problem is here? Any help is appreciated!
