Nvidia package refuses to update??

Hi all. I've been having some difficulties updating my system, in particular the nvidia-lts package. Nvidia Xserver says I have 358.16 so what gives?

Heres what pacman outputs:

resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: nvidia-lts: installing nvidia-utils (361.18-2) breaks dependency 'nvidia-utils=358.16'

Any help is much appreciated.

Re: Nvidia package refuses to update??

I don't know if this is related but I think there is an issue with the new version of pacman: when I call

# pacman -Dkk

it returns

error: missing 'nvidia-utils=358.16' dependency for 'nvidia-lts'

However the nvidia-lts package was never installed:

# pacman -Qi nvidia-lts
error: package 'nvidia-lts' was not found

# paccache -d -v  nvidia-lts
==> no candidate packages found for pruning

Think this is effecting me, since I have both NVidia and the lts package. The lts package still needs to update to the new version.

Thanks for all the replys. Its good to know im not the only one with this problem, I guess.

It has been already reported: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/48048.

So, it sounds like we have to wait for the repos to be updated then?

Re: Nvidia package refuses to update??

I'm pretty sure that's the issue. I checked NVidia's page and it looks like the 361.18 drivers are still in beta. Is that why the nvidia-lts hasn't been updated to them?
