nvidia-utils: /usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1 exists in filesystem

errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Maybe just some minor problem, will se what i do with it later today.

!!Fixed now.

Not a big deal, tried to stop X and remove nvidia module but had to move or remove this file

/usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1

to somewhere.

And upgrade of nvidia-utils finished fine then.

This kind of issue usually needs to be reported on the bug tracker instead.
But in this particular case, the issue is in the old package, not in the new one. So not much can be done about it :

I got the same thing.  I ran these commands and everything worked fine.

pacman -R nvidia nvidia-utils --nodeps
pacman -Sy nvidia nvidia-utils

I read some where that the conflict comes when if you install with the script from nvidia.com and then reverse back to the driver from the repository.
Same happened to me.

I never installed anything manually, and I also had that issue.
So the explanation given in the link I gave above is more probable, at least in my case.

Otherwise, simply removing the conflicting file is in my opinion the easiest and safest way.
