Details

Description:
Since the recent update of X.org (1.6.0), xorg-utils is no longer depended upon by packages essential to running an X session. Therefore xorg-utils can be uninstalled. But xorg-utils depends on libXtst which, if uninstalled, will render JRE useless. So JRE should depend on libXtst.

Additional info:
[lars@laptop ~]$ pacman -Q jre libxtst
jre 6u12-1
libxtst 1.0.3-1
[lars@laptop ~]$ pacman -Qi libxtst | grep "Required By"
Required By : None

Steps to reproduce:
1) pacman -Rns xorg-utils (make sure libXtst is removed)
2) Go to http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml
This task depends upon
