Pacman answers its own conflict question with No under --noconfirm, so one
retired package can stop every update after it. Which package to drop is a
decision rather than a cleanup, so run the upgrade again with pacman asking
when there is a terminal to answer on, and report instead when -y promised
not to ask.
