I tried a few other vnc’s. They all failed on the same dependencies
Then I went all crazy and tried a full system upgrade, expecting it to work, but to break something, but that didn’t work either:
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: imx-gpu-viv-fb and mesa are in conflict
Yeah basically if you go the full upgrade route, eventually it won’t boot , due to an issue with kernel/bootloader provides by Archlinux

im looking at my install, and xorgproto is not installed
pacman -Qi xorgproto
which is what was causing you issues, but can can also see on my tigervnc it is also not required.
Ok, when I get time I’ll transfer the package over to the other organelle and see if I can work out it’s dependences and so what else I need … that’s the pain, it’s a bit of a to and fro process for me.
