Unable to upgrade due to a conflict [SOLVED]

Greetings you all.

I've been tried to upgrade my system and I've been unable to do it due to a conflict between xf86-video-openchrome and unichrome-dri.
This is the pacman output:

[root@Viper /]# pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
 multilib is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: lib32-unichrome-dri: requires lib32-libgl=7.11.2

Can anybody tel me how do I solve this?

I already have libgl installed...

[root@Viper /]# pacman -S libgl

looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: nouveau-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2
:: unichrome-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2
[root@Viper /]# pacman -Q libgl
libgl 7.11.2-1

If trying to uninstall unichrome-dri, it returns:

[root@Viper /]# pacman -R unichrome-dri
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: xf86-video-openchrome: requires unichrome-dri

And by the way, is it safe do replace all those items that appeared before?

Thank you all.

Looks like the unichrome-dri package is no longer in the repos. Is there a reason you have the openchrome driver installed as well as nouveau?

If you need it, you should be able to get around this by removing xf86-video-openchrome and its dependencies, update, then reinstall xf86-video-openchrome. Otherwise just remove it.

Re: Unable to upgrade due to a conflict [SOLVED]

Thanks for your quick response, but only today I had a chance of look into this again...

I use an on board chipset from VIA Technologies, and the only way I figured to get that old gadget (VIA Technologies, Inc. P4M890) working is by using Openchrome. Mesa simply doesn't work and vesa has some issues.
So I followed your advice, by removing xf86-video-openchrome, updating and installing it again.
Everything is working now.
Thanks a lot.
