Trying to install nvidia and nvidia-utils via pacman and failed

I type

 pacman -Sy nvidia nvidia-utils 

i get:
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: util-linux and util-linux-ng are in conflict (linux32). Remove util-linux-ng? [y/N] Y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: aufs2: requires kernel26<2.6.38
:: ndiswrapper: requires kernel26<2.6.38
:: tiacx: requires kernel26<=2.6.37

I cant seem to get it to install nvidia and consequentially lots of things are borked.

Any ideas what I can do to start solving this?

All three of those kernel modules are now unsupported. If you're using them, you will need to switch to an alternative in-kernel driver, else you can `pacman -R` them and then the upgrade should work.

Don't run 'pacman -Sy foo' - it may lead to breakage https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=89328

Are you using [testing]? http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/ … 21479.html
