Pacman -Syu failed due to libgl dependency (Solved)

had the following problem

so I found similar problems in the forum and did the following
pacman -R unichrome-dri xf86-video-ati xf86-video-mga xf86-video-savage xf86-video-sis xf86-video-tdfx xf86-video-trident
intel-dri would not remove
then I did pacman -S nvidia-utils ; pacman -Su
and now when I try pacman _syu I get

What step am I forgetting??

yeah
it seems that libgl conflicts with catalyst-utils.
"/usr/lib/libGL.so.1" is in both packages. i had to remove libgl, ati-dri and the radeonhd packages. now it works.

smcsw2000, what video card do you use? Which driver is specified in xorg.conf? If you use only an nvidia card, you can safely remove xf86-video-i810 which keeps pulling in the gl and dri stuff.

xf86-video-i810 doesn't even exist anymore in the repos as it's been replaced by xf86-video-intel

Remove any and all video drivers you don't use, then try the update.

On my system with the catalyst, I actually uninstalled the video driver (catalyst in my case), updated the system then reinstalled catalyst.

smcsw2000 · 2008-12-28 01:05:13

I have an nvidia geoforce 6200 video card. So I removed xf86-video-i810 and then I was able top remove the dri-intel. now I am able to do the system upgrade. I just wasn't sure that the xf86-video-i810 wasn't a generic video file that was needed. Thanks.

I was having roughly the same problem, turns out that unichrome-dri was the package that wanted libgl. I found it by issuing the command:

pacman -Syu --ignore libgl

and looking for the complaint from pacman that unichrome-dri would need the package.

Trevorofmolino · 2009-01-01 18:25:24

Thanks. It was unichrome-dri that did not get removed. So I removed unichrome-dri and now the system is upgrading.

I'm having a simialr problem, but I can't remove libgl because xorg and other vital stuff requires it. I use the ati (radeon) driver (for years). pacman -Qs dri or ati-dri turns up nothing installed. I removed netkit-telnet, same result. Removed xf86-video-ati, and updates for kde-svn packages, kernel, koffice, tar, fakeroot, and libarchive showed up, so I went ahead and did them. All went fine.

All i have installed now is the xf86-video-vesa drive. Hope X works on restart. Will update later- any suiggestions? What's happened to the old reliable ati/radeon driver?

Can I use testing/catalyst 8.12-3 with a Radeon 9000 pro card?

wtf is going on here, I finally re-installed arch on my laptop with 64 bit and to my suprise ATI isnt even on archlinux reps anymore, instead its on AUR (thank god).

I'm having the exact same issues here, and I really "love" (sarcasm) ATI for their support on the linux sector..... too bad I cant rip out my pathetic ATI from my sony vaio and replace it with nvidia instead.

"catalyst-utils conflicts with libgl"

ATI you suck

Pacman -Rsn libgl

requires libgl:

mesa
xorg-server
xorg-utils

EDIT: it seems I need another package since im now on 64bit, hmm lets do some research

You can just pacman -Rd libgl and then install catalyst-utils; the latter provides libgl. See: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/catal … s/PKGBUILD

You should not need anything extra for x86_64.

ATI catalyst support was dropped due to lacking support for new developements in xorg:

yeah it was in the wiki but thanks anyways, it was good reading. I've just spent 2 hours trying to get a working X on my new arch64 with ext4, and i'm still having issues.

I love linux, it's the best os imo, but getting X to just work sometimes is too much hassle, im also having ext4 issues but that's another tale.

When linux just works im the happiest guy in the world, but spending countless of hours just to fix one of the most fundemental ways of a computer really really really annoys me, I don't blame linux/os though.

oh well back to hell ;)
