[solved] System upgrade fails - catalyst-libgl related

I've been having trouble upgrading my system over the last few days.  This is what I get:

sudo powerpill -f -Syyu
:: Synchronising package databases...
 catalyst                   1.5K 1163.9K/s 00:00:00 [------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------] 100%

:: lib32-catalyst-utils: requires catalyst>=10.5

If I try to remove lib32-catalyst-utils to do the upgrade, I get:

powerpill -R catalyst lib32-catalyst-utils

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: bin32-google-earth: requires lib32-libgl

:: mesa: requires libgl
:: mplayer: requires libgl
:: qt: requires libgl
:: stellarium: requires libgl
:: wxgtk: requires libgl
:: xorg-server: requires libgl
:: xorg-utils: requires libgl

Any thoughts?

Have you tried updating Catalyst? The latest version in AUR is 10.6.

Hmm. One problem solved, one to go.  I'd missed the moving of the catalyst repo to the new address; updating the repo got me to

The following packages will be downloaded:
   [catalyst]
     catalyst-10.6-2 [16.10 MiB]
     lib32-catalyst-utils-10.6-1 [7.13 MiB]
   [extra]
     boost-1.43.0-1 [6.97 MiB]
     boost-libs-1.43.0-1 [2.23 MiB]
     xorg-server-1.8.1.902-1 [1.82 MiB]

:: Number of Packages:               5
:: Total Download Size:      34.24 MiB
:: Total Installed Size:    243.51 MiB

:: Proceed with download? [Y/n] y

Unfortunately, then

:: Starting full system upgrade...

resolving dependencies...
warning: dependency cycle detected:

:: savage-dri: requires libgl=7.8.2
:: sis-dri: requires libgl=7.8.2
:: tdfx-dri: requires libgl=7.8.2

I came across a similar problem with nvidia rather than catalyst: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=99307 , but I don't know how to apply the solution there ('Uninstall the graphics drivers that you do not need') - are there any here that I don't need?
