[solved] Mesa libgl in conflict with nvidia libgl

Hi,

I've looked around and found several posts with the same issue that I have:

wayne@arglefraster ~ ⚘ sudo pacman -Syu                                                                                                                          9:08:26

error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: mesa-libgl and nvidia-libgl are in conflict

One said to find out what package has the mesa-libgl dependency, but they didn't say how to do it, and when I googled "arch linux find what depends on mesa-libgl" I got nothing useful.

How can I find out what package depends on mesa-libgl so I can either uninstall it if I don't care about it, or do *something* so I can upgrade my system?

What graphics hardware are you using?
What's the output of

pacman -Qg xorg-drivers

wayne@arglefraster ~ ⚘ pacman -Qs -- -dri                                                                                                                  $? 1  9:09:34
local/xf86-input-evdev 2.9.0-2 (xorg-drivers xorg)
    X.org evdev input driver
local/xf86-input-synaptics 1.8.0-3 (xorg-drivers xorg)
    Synaptics driver for notebook touchpads

local/xf86-video-vesa 2.3.2-5 (xorg-drivers xorg)
    X.org vesa video driver

and

wayne@arglefraster ~ ⚘ pacman -Qg xorg-drivers                                                                                                                   9:30:46
xorg-drivers xf86-input-evdev
xorg-drivers xf86-input-synaptics
xorg-drivers xf86-video-intel
xorg-drivers xf86-video-vesa

I've got an nvidia card (and the correct drivers for it). I just moved to a different machine and thought I got rid of the old video drivers, but it looks like xf86-video-intel was the culprit since I removed that and -Syu worked with no problem.

Thanks!

Do you have an Intel processor with an integrated graphics card?
