Problem upgrading due to catalyst and libgl

Hi all,

I am trying to do an upgrade and am having issues ... I get the following when trying the upgrade ..

--------------------------------------------

:: Starting full system upgrade...
warning: ethtool: local (6-2) is newer than extra (2.6.36-1)

:: wxgtk: requires libgl
:: xbmc: requires libgl
:: xine-lib: requires libgl
:: xorg-utils: requires libgl
:: xvba-video: requires catalyst-utils

------------------------------------------------------------

Any suggestions on how to handle this, do I have to force the un-install .... seems like not a good way to proceed ..
As this is a laptop I use evey day, I don't want to break it .. :-0

Cheers,
Bernie

does catalyst work with the normal arch kernel, if yes then remove the unsupported stuff.

I'd say check the ATI/AMD wiki

catalyst-test is kinda old now, it's only updated when AMD is releasing ubuntu beta driver with fresh xserver support ;P

please:
# pacman -Rd catalyst-test
and install newest catalyst and catalyst-utils packages

And yes, wiki is a good place to find extra infos and candies

Many thanks guys,

Doing the "pacman -Rd catalyst-test" thing, solved it, now can upgrade as normal.

Cheers,
Bernie
