Attempting the libgl-dri -> libgl upgrade :
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
libgl: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 exists in filesystemerrors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
Umm thinking as I type, perhaps this is because I have the nVidia proprietary driver installed and did that when I installed Arch a couple of months ago and realise that it was available via pacman. I will post anyway in case the issue affects anyone else, or someone can tell me that there is a different reason.
And a P.S. by way of an edit. I just tried to install the upgrade to mplayer separately from libgl (it came as part of the same -Syu exercise), and it fails for the same reason - maybe that was the problem in the first place?

You mean you installed nvidia from their 'official installer'? That would cause this problem - if you want nvidia, use pacman's packages to avoid this in the future.

Thanks for responding Cerebral.
Yes, that is what I did. I had been using nVidia's "official installer" for so long before I switched to Arch a couple of months ago, it never even occurred to me that pacman might support it.
