[solved] Update Problem with libgl and nvidia (bumblebee)

Hi,

when doing a full system update i get following problem:

:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
multilib is up to date
archlinuxfr is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace gnupg2 with core/gnupg? [Y/n] y
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
warning: removing 'libgl' from target list because it conflicts with 'nvidia-utils'
:: nvidia-utils and libgl are in conflict. Remove libgl? [y/N] y
:: nvidia-utils and nvidia-utils-bumblebee are in conflict. Remove nvidia-utils-bumblebee? [y/N] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: intel-dri: requires libgl=8.0.2
:: lib32-nvidia-utils-bumblebee: requires nvidia-utils-bumblebee

I have a 64 bit system and bumblebee with nvidia and intel driver. What should I do? I read removing libgl with 'sudo pacman -Rdd libgl' would solve the problem with libgl, but I am not sure if i can safely do that... and the bumblebee problem would still exist...

Thanks for your help!

"Warning: Don't install the original nvidia-utils for Bumblebee - it will break your system !"
See Bumblebee page in the Arch Linux Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bumblebee
So I guess first, just try to remove nvidia-utils.

Thanks for your reply.

I don't have nvidia-utils installed: When I try to update using yaourt, I get this interesing output:
==> New package :
extra/nvidia-utils               295.33-1       (required by nvidia)

it seems that nvidia update is trying to install nvidia-utils (i have nvidia and nvidia-utils-bumblebee installed)

solved: I deleted nvidia and installed nvidia-bumblebee instead
