[SOLVED] Conflicting files while downgrading nvidia and nvidia-utils

Hi.

So I have found some instability with  nvidia 361.28-2 and  nvidia-utils-361.28-2 with my Steam Games  so I decided to downgrade to the more stable version that was 361-18-2.

When I tried to downgrade these packages I got the following error:

warning: downgrading package nvidia-utils (361.28-2 => 361.18-2)
warning: downgrading package nvidia (361.28-2 => 361.18-3)
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...

Packages (2) nvidia-361.18-3  nvidia-utils-361.18-2

Total Installed Size:  116.58 MiB
Net Upgrade Size:        1.87 MiB

How can I solve this kind of issue ?
Thanks !

You need to downgrade also the nvidia-libgl and maybe opencl-nvidia packages.

And possibly remove libglvnd (not sure when that became required.

Re: [SOLVED] Conflicting files while downgrading nvidia and nvidia-utils

It worked !

After removing all new dependencies with the command below the downgrade was successful ! 

yaourt -Rdd  lib32-libglvnd

I am marking this issue as solved.

Thank you all for your help !
