Hello, i have been trying to update my laptop today to the latest kernel as well as a few other updates. I seem to be getting an error every time i try to update. It looks like Bumblebee is the problem. Here is my terminal output from the several commands i have tried to run.

I'm not an advanced Arch user yet, so would be great if somebody could confirm it's ok to do this, but I solved it in the following way:
First install the linux package without checking dependencies (Maybe not so safe to do):
yaourt -S linux --nodeps
Then update all packages including all AUR packages with the a options:
yaourt -Syua
You can swap yaourt with pacman and it should also work except the AUR package update.

i actually solved this too, but a different way. I unloaded and stopped bumblebeed
# systemctl stop bumblebeed.service
# systemctl disable bumblebeed.service
then i removed the package # pacman -R nvidia-bumblebee
did a full upgrade # pacman -Syyu
all packages upgraded successfully. i then rebooted my machine, and proceeded to re-install nvidia-bumblebee from the aur, then re enabled and started the service. All seems to be working perfect without error.
