Sane:
* cyrus-sasl (and its three split packages -gssapi, -ldap, and -sql) depend on libsasl.
* cyrus-sasl-gssapi, -ldap, and -sql replace cyrus-sasl-plugins.

Not sane:
libsasl conflicts with and provides cyrus-sasl-plugins. This happens to work with the current pacman resolving logic because don't do dependency/provision comparison with replaces, but will totally fail with 4.0 and  FS#23410 .

What were you trying to accomplish here with this setup? The conflicts belong on the -gssapi/-ldap/-sql packages, and the provision seems totally unnecessary.
This task depends upon

We have/had still packages depending on cyrus-sasl-plugins. Part of cyrus-sasl-plugins moved to the standalone packages, but part of it moved to libsasl, that's why I added the provides to libsasl also.

We should get rid of the cyrus-sasl-plugins dependencies first before we can remove the provides. Without the provides, updating libsasl will fail completely now.
