Archlinux template Qubes 4.0 cannot satisfy dependencies

[fosslinux]

Qubes OS version:

R4.0

Affected component(s):

The Archlinux template build in Qubes 4.0.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Exactly same instructions as #3185:
Try to build the archlinux template:

1. Install and set up the needed prerequisites for building QubesOS
2. Clone qubes-builder
3. Copy example-configs/qubes-os-master.conf as builder.conf
4. Set DISTS_VM to archlinux and add builder-archlinux to COMPONENTS and BUILDER_PLUGINS
5. Run make get-sources, make qubes-vm, make template

Expected behavior:

The template should successfully build.

Actual behavior:

At the end of make template, I get this error:

  --> Finishing installation of qubes packages...
resolving dependencies...
warning: cannot resolve "xorg-server<1.20.0", a dependency of "qubes-vm-gui"
:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
      qubes-vm-gui

:: Do you want to skip the above package for this upgrade? [y/N] error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

:: qubes-vm-gui: requires xorg-server<1.20.0
make[1]: *** [Makefile:59: rootimg-build] Error 1

General notes:

This stems from #3185. There have been some (slightly) similar issues in the past related, but the solutions don't work/don't work on Qubes R4.0.

What I can make from the error is that qubes-vm-gui requires xorg-server under version 1.20.0. The current version on Archlinux repositories is 1.20.0-2. Should the PKGBUILD be edited so it works, or just can't we have this? If 1.20.0 is impossible, how can I get around this error?
