Upgrade issue with catalyst-cogl

Hi all,
It seems that I have stuck in update chain which probably was caused with catalyst update of cogl(1.22.0-2) from Vi0L0 repo.

For the last month I cannot install any updates even if available:

pacman -Suyy

:: There are 2 providers available for libcl:
:: Repository extra
   1) ocl-icd
:: Repository catalyst
   2) opencl-catalyst

All options fails to install:

Enter a number (default=1): 1
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: catalyst-utils: requires xorg-server<1.18

Enter a number (default=1): 2
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: catalyst-utils: requires xorg-server<1.18.0

This makes the system upgrade not working and each package needs to be upgraded manually.

I would very appreciate any help.

Thank you,
Regards
tomz

P.s. It seems that it requires to switch from catalyst to mesa libs, and after it the sys upgrade can be done

pacman -S extra/mesa-libgl
pacman -S extra/libtxc_dxtn
pacman -R catalyst-utils

Re: Upgrade issue with catalyst-cogl

Without fglrx modules I had some strange video problem - continuous blinking of terminal / screen - but it can be easily solved by ignoring following packages:

 IgnorePkg   = linux-headers xorg-server xf86-input-evdev xf86-video-*

Please close subject, the problem was with my understanding of pacman upgrade process. One dependency can block other even not related packages from being updated.
