lib32-ati-dri and lib32-mesa-dri in confilict, can't remove lib32-mesa

I recently reinstalled arch on one of my older computers.  And in that installation I installed the open source ati drivers.
So I tried to install steam and decided to go ahead and use the lib32-ati-dri for it, it installed for me and everything was good.

I just tried to do an update and received this:

sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 testing is up to date
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community-testing is up to date
 community is up to date
 multilib-testing is up to date
 multilib is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace lib32-ati-dri with multilib-testing/lib32-mesa-dri? [Y/n] 

I then obviously select no and received this:

resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: lib32-mesa-dri and lib32-ati-dri are in conflict. Remove lib32-ati-dri? [y/N] 

If I select no again, the update fails (obviously :v), but if I select yes to either of those it uninstalls lib32-ati-dri and installs lib32-mesa-dri. 
I then tried to just reinstall lib32-ati-dri, and it works.  But when I update, I get the same prompt, over and over.

So I'm wondering if there is anyway to remedy this, or if I should just stick with the lib32-mesa-dri.

Thanks in advance to all you wonderful people!

If you're running testing, you should really keep up on what's going on.

You should answer yes.

Yea I just got back after not keeping up with it for a year or so (didn't have it installed), so I better get on that XD.
