pf-linux and nvidia

hi all,

i just completed the installation of pfkernel on my machine (thinkpad-w510). i needed this for the tux-on-ice patches that are included by default in this kernel. however, when installing nvidia-pf, which is the default package for nvidia module on this kernel, i get the following message:

fatcat ~ # pacman -S pfkernel/nvidia-pf
resolving dependencies...
warning: cannot resolve "linux-pf<3.11", a dependency of "nvidia-pf"
:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
      nvidia-pf

:: Do you want to skip the above package for this upgrade? [y/N] 
error: failed to prepare transaction (unexpected error)

can you please help me fix the dependency issue ? thanks !

Re: pf-linux and nvidia

What version of linux-pf do you have installed? pfkernel repo provides linux-pf 3.11.1-1, so there might be something wrong with the repo.

There's no nvidia-pf package (at least not for 32-bit), there are e.g. nvidia-pf-atom, nvidia-pf-p4 etc. When I try to install them, I get a similar error, but one mentioning e.g. linux-pf-p4<3.10 - an even older version.
