[SOLVED] Strange conflict cannot upgrade

Basically, I had switched driver from nvidia to nouveau then to nvidia again. It worked flawless but look now:

[fco@archost ~]$ sudo pacman -Su
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
:: There are 3 providers available for libgl:
:: Repository extra
   1) mesa-libgl  2) nvidia-304xx-utils  3) nvidia-libgl

Enter a number (default=1): 
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: nvidia-libgl and mesa-libgl are in conflict
[fco@archost ~]$ sudo pacman -Rdd nvidia-libgl
error: target not found: nvidia-libgl
[fco@archost ~]$ sudo pacman -Rdd mesa-libgl
error: target not found: mesa-libgl
[fco@archost ~]$ 

So there was a conflict between mesa-libgl and nvidia-libgl when switching to nvidia. I needed to use pacman -Rdd, which is problably not the best command. But using only -Rd would have removed way too much dependencies... So I removed mesa and installed and keep only nvidia-libgl.. for a while and everything went fine...
But in the code posted up here, I cannot upgrade even if the two of them are removed. (I just removed nvidia-libgl)

With nvidia-libgl installed I get this

[fco@archost ~]$ sudo pacman -S nvidia-libgl
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...

Packages (1): nvidia-libgl-325.15-1

Total Installed Size:   0.02 MiB

Re: [SOLVED] Strange conflict cannot upgrade

pacman -Q | grep -- -dri
pacman -Q glamor-egl

Anything that shows up from either command needs removed.

Re: [SOLVED] Strange conflict cannot upgrade

Why do you still have nouveau-dri installed?
Do what Scimmia says.

[fco@archost ~]$ pacman -Q | grep -- -dri
nouveau-dri 9.2.1-1
[fco@archost ~]$ pacman -Q glamor-egl

Found it thanks!

Upgrade works thanks
