DetailsSummary and Info:
Pacman (3.3.2-1) thinks that libxi-1.2.1 (from extra) is newer than already installed libxi-1.3-1 (from testing). I temporarily enabled the testing repository in order to install the latest xorg stuff, which included libxi-1.3-1. Now, with testing disabled, 'pacman -Su' fails because it wants to re-install libxi-1.2.1 which breaks dependencies for other already installed packages. I've marked this problem as 'Severity: Medium' because it's possible to work around the error by using 'IgnorePkg libxi'. Note, FWIW, that vercmp seems to give the right answer for the comparison. A transcript of 'pacman -Su -v --debug' is attached. Steps to Reproduce:

FS#16828FS#16828- don't know how I missed that before. So I'm requesting closure on this and will see if it's been opened against libxi.
