It seems Arch maintainers were hasty, and packaged a debug release of pixman, instead of stable.
That if statement is true with “0.43.0”, but not with “0.43.1”, or with the previous Arch version of 0.42.2".
Yes, and? 
Hi @philm ,
I confirm You that mkinitcpio 37.1-4 from stable branch make things working again. I will edit this post with the output when my PC finish tasks on another OS and will test the unstable branch to tell You.
EDIT : I confirm that mkinitcpio 37.2-1.5 from unstable branch make things working again too.

Nice to see that someone with a user on Arch GitLab woke up to this. They limit user creation at the moment.
Though I do wonder why they suggest a downgrade, when there is a 0.43.1, which is a stable version, by pixman’s versioning system 
These last mkinitcpio updates broke my efi setup:

I don’t know where to look for solution at this point. It will leave me with an empty boot partition. The last working version is 37.1-3.
It seems that mkinitcpio doesn’t create create the unified kernel image anymore.
Edit: Okay, I solved it by adding these two options to this file:
/etc/kernel/install.conf the following settings:
initrd_generator=mkinitcpio
uki_generator=mkinitcpio
Apparently, it’s not set automatically since the new mkinitcpio version? I don’t understand but it works now.
I think you missed the point. See Andreas’ response.
And still am.
0.43.0 is also listed as a release version here:
https://cairographics.org/releases/
All of this could’ve been avoided if there was never a “0.43.0”. Never seen a version system like this before.
Well, that’s a bit off-topic here. Arch updated it because they did. If there is an issue with the release, that should be directed upstream.
Hopefully pixman maintainers make more sustainable choices with their versioning in the future. This has been brought up upstream already 
Mesa also does this. The first 0 version is a development version. Mostly you update with a point release.
With pixman, it seems more complicated than that. Debug portion of the code is enabled if both the remainder of the minor version is 1 when divided by 2, and the micro version has a remainder of 0 when divided by 2.
Looking back at Arch’s package history, it seems they have released development versions before, but not ones with debug code enabled.

This was unrelated to dbus-broker for me. It’s caused by a bisected regression in amdgpu, where the GPU fails to initialise from a reboot. A shutdown, followed by power-on is fine:

I actually just created this account to seek help. I can’t update even on a fresh install (Cinnamon).
I get the same error (only saying dbus-x11 instead of dbus) after selecting dbus-broker-units.
conflicting files:
dbus-broker-units: /usr/lib/systemd/system/dbus.service already exists in filesystem (owned by dbus-x11)
dbus-broker-units: /usr/lib/systemd/user/dbus.service already exists in filesystem (owned by dbus-x11)
Could anyone tell me what I could try to fix this? Thanks!

This might not work because of dependencies.
A better approach would be:

Yes, it’s changed with polkit 124-1.

This will take care of it once and for all:

Since we are mentioning these things …
Got the same for /var/log/audit after most recent sync.

And its not a new package … its been in the previous syncs and this is the first warning. 
(not like its a problem… but I suppose the inconsistency is a mystery)
Actually, I looked at the logs again 
… no, this is actually the first time the package has been upgraded since this new install.
So the discrepancy is from the installation.
