Description:
After xorg-server-utils and xorg-utils being deprecated I had to install xorg-xdpyinfo to make x11vnc work again. Just noticed after uninstalling xorg-server-utils and xorg-utils including dependencies.


Steps to reproduce:
pacman -Rscn xorg-server-utils xorg-utils
# or do a clean system install where xorg-server-utils and xorg-utils do no longer exist

# x11vnc would not work with the following command
/usr/bin/x11vnc -rfbauth /etc/x11vnc/passwd -xkb -forever -repeat -display :0 -shared -nap -ncache 0 -noxrecord -noxdamage -bg -rfbport 5900 -o /var/log/x11vnc.log -auth guess -cursor arrow

pacman -S xorg-xdpyinfo makes it work again.

I suggest adding it as dependency.

Thanks
