[SOLVED] nvidia-utils and lib32-nvidia-utils version disparity

Hey friends,

Current nvidia-utils is nvidia-utils-570.153.02-1

I can't install lib32-nvidia-utils:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing nvidia-utils (570.153.02-1) breaks dependency 'nvidia-utils=570.144' required by lib32-nvidia-utils
 -> error installing repo packages

I'm sure this'll get sorted but figured I'd flag. Thanks.

EDIT - solved - had some (not all) testing repos enabled in pacman.conf

Which repos do you have enabled?
If you're using the testing repositories, then you also have to enable multilib testing as per the remark in the wiki:

If you enable core-testing, you must also enable extra-testing, and vice versa. If you enable any other testing repository listed in the following subsections, you must also enable both core-testing and extra-testing.

Getting the same issue (ok, during update - not during install) today, but no testing enabled. Only core, extra and multilib.

@Frostregen, hm, then your mirror most likely has not caught up yet, as it all looks well & synced from the upstream package state: https://archlinux.org/packages/?q=nvidia-utils

Yeah, I posted a bit quick. Changing my top mirror to another one made the update work just fine.
Thanks for your reply, and sorry for the hassle

Wow, I had completely forgotten that I previously enabled testing repos and then rolled back but forgot one Thanks. I'll mark this as SOLVED. My mistake!
