Some of the X.org server packages are now more than ten years old, and cause trouble when new features like touchscreens, etc. come into play.
Update of : libXScrnSaver, libXcomposite, libXdamage, libXext, libXi, libXinerama, libXrandr, libXrender, libXv, libXvMC, libXxf86vm, libdmx, and libxkbfile.

Namely:

 libXScrnSaver.be0, libXcomposite.be0, libXdamage.be0,
 libXext.be0, libXi.be0, libXinerama.be0, libXrandr.be0,
 libXrender.be0, libXv.be0, libXvMC.be0, libXxf86vm.be0,
 libdmx.be0, libxkbfile.be0

Notes:

 - libXrandr.be0 from 2017 was treated the same way,

 - all files carry just the source URL.

 - old and new versions are:

    libXScrnSaver: 1.2.2 -> 1.2.4
    libXcomposite: 0.4.4 -> 0.4.6
    libXdamage: 1.1.4 -> 1.1.6
    libXext: 1.3.2 -> 1.3.6
    libXi: 1.7.2 -> 1.8.1
    libXinerama: 1.1.3 -> 1.1.5
    libXrandr: 1.5.1 -> 1.5.4
    libXrender: 0.9.8 -> 0.9.11
    libXv: 1.0.10 -> 1.0.12
    libXvMC: 1.0.8 -> 1.0.14
    libXxf86vm: 1.1.3 -> 1.1.5
    libdmx: 1.1.3 -> 1.1.5
    libxkbfile: 1.0.8 -> 1.1.3
