(solved) Can not upgrade to kernel 3.8.2, bumblebee conflict

Hello, i have been trying to update my laptop today to the latest kernel as well as a few other updates. I seem to be getting an error every time i try to update. It looks like Bumblebee is the problem.  Here is my terminal output from the several commands i have tried to run.

jc61990@M14xR2 ~ % sudo pacman -Syyu

Proceed with installation? [Y/n]

Edit nvidia-bumblebee.install with $EDITOR? [Y/n] n

has anyone else had this problem and found a resolution yet?

Re: (solved) Can not upgrade to kernel 3.8.2, bumblebee conflict

I'm not an advanced Arch user yet, so would be great if somebody could confirm it's ok to do this, but I solved it in the following way:

First install the linux package without checking dependencies (Maybe not so safe to do):
yaourt -S linux --nodeps

Then update all packages including all AUR packages with the a options:
yaourt -Syua

You can swap yaourt with pacman and it should also work except the AUR package update.

Re: (solved) Can not upgrade to kernel 3.8.2, bumblebee conflict

i actually solved this too,  but a different way.  I unloaded and stopped bumblebeed

# systemctl stop bumblebeed.service

# systemctl disable bumblebeed.service

then i removed the package  # pacman -R nvidia-bumblebee

did a full upgrade  # pacman -Syyu

all packages upgraded successfully.  i then rebooted my machine, and proceeded to re-install nvidia-bumblebee from the aur, then re enabled and started the service.  All seems to be working perfect without error.
