[solved] nvidia and libgl conflicts

Hi guys,

I've been searching alot around but couldnt figure out a REAL solution.
I've installed the nvidia(-utils) and i do not have installed libgl.
Problem basically is if i try to update my system "pacman -Syu" I get "libgl and nvidia are in conflict".

[root@arch michael]# pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: libgl and nvidia-utils are in conflict. Remove nvidia-utils? [y/N] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: nvidia: requires nvidia-utils=285.05.09

Answering with No would abort the transaction, too!

What should i do in this case?

#solved
First remove all drivers as 'wonder' posted:
pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qqs xorg-drivers | grep -v xf86-input-evdev)
After removing local/nouveau-dri 7.11-2 things went fine. Thanks ioni from #archlinux @freenode.com!
Thanks for your help!

Did you by any chance install the xorg group? And if yes, why??

Re: [solved] nvidia and libgl conflicts

how did you installed in the first place nvidia-utils? You have inconsistencies iny our tree because you used -Sdd

do pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qqs xorg-drivers | grep -v xf86-input-evdev)

---

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
