I've read threads on this before but this time nvidia-utils is being asked to be removed. I'm not sure if removing nvidia-utils is safe. Before, reading some threads on here, I had to set libgl to ignore to get nvidia-utils to install.
Thanks.

What graphics card do you have?
Nvidia provides their own libgl implementation therefore is in conflict with the regular libgl. Yes, removing nvidia-utils is safe but you need that package if you want to use proprietary nvidia drivers.

I have a nvidia 8200m. I'm not sure what my course of action should be here and how to execute it.
Should I set an ignore on libgl and continue as normal or remove nvidia and use the regular libgl. I'm not sure the quality of differences between the two.
Thanks.

It's not the recunt update that bought conflict: they are like this since years, it's normal. If you want to use official binary driver from NVIDIA, then remove libgl. It's safe, as they provide theirs implementation of that: you can see with pacman that nvidia package provides libgl.

Hello,
i currently have the same problem as 6msj on with my nVidia NVS4200M Optimus:
$ pacman -Suy

error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: libgl and nvidia-utils are in conflict
Last time i updated via 'pacman -Suy' that problem did not occur. Seems to me that one of the updates wants to fetch libgl even if it possibly shouldn't. Is there some way to check what's the package in question?
Best regards,
David

pacman -Qs dri
i suspect you guys installed all xorg group which include all video drivers available and somehow you forced installing nvidia-utils

Hello,

local/intel-dri 7.11-2
Mesa DRI drivers for Intel
local/libirman 0.4.5-2
Irman driver lcd library
local/nvidia 285.05.09-1

local/xf86-video-fbdev 0.4.2-5 (xorg-drivers xorg)
X.org framebuffer video driver
Thats the whole output i get. I don't understand what do you mean by "all xorg group" and "forced installing nvidia-utils". I am using the binary nvidia driver because nouveau did not work for me. As far as i understand nvidia depends on nvidia-utils.

you have intel-dri installed which has libgl dependency versioned. that package was updated recently and wants a newer libgl but it can't install it because nvidia-utils is installed.
solution: pacman -R intel-dri

@tresh better run testdb and see if you have more dependencies problem

@6msj do
pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qqs xorg-drivers | grep -v xf86-input-evdev)
next time guys stop installing xorg group and read the wiki. only xorg-server + your driver is enough this days

Isn't it time then to remove the xorg group?

You mean https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=124923 ?
We're following upstream on that matter: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/23296

Just had to add , this occurs even for users who do not have the xorg group installed , i had only nouveau and the nvidia blob installed all was well until a recent update then i too was having these conflicts , removing nouveau fixed it for me.

Same as cirrus here.
Don't remember why I kept nouveau, when I installed nvidia. If everything will work without it that's fine for me Updating now...

I confirm that only by removing nouveau I got rid of that issue. Btw. certain use cases require to have both installed e.g. trying to fix an issue with the nvidia driver.

Worked for me:
pacman -Rns xf86-video-nouveau
Then pacman -Syu

And vesa wouldn't work for that? Raise a bug if you feel this is really required, but it would require quite a bit of symlink hackery to have both nouveau and nvidia installed and usable on the same system, last I checked. Not something which can be easily automated by packages.

My laptop has optimus so intel and nvidia drivers are required, any idea how to proceed?
