Just learned something extremely useful. I had random qemu packages causing upgrade issues, and I was having to remove them one by one. Then I saw this:

https://commandmasters.com/commands/pacman-remove-linux/#use-case-5-remove-a-package-and-cascade-to-dependencies

Ran this one command with the package that was causing upgrade dependencies, and this nuked that package and everything else that depended on it.
