[SOLVED] Installing catalyst-total-pxp from AUR fails due to conflict

I'm trying to get catalyst drivers installed for my ATI graphics card. However, the install is failing with this error:

error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: catalyst-total-pxp and libcl are in conflict

I'm not too familiar with PKGBUILD files, but I looked inside the PKGBUILD for catalyst-total-pxp, and I saw libcl listed in both the conflicts section and the provides section, so it looks like this package will install it. I tried removing libcl, but it looks like imagemagick requires it, and some other packages I use like emacs require imagemagick, so I can't remove it without removing multiple packages.

How should I go about installing this package?

Try 'pacman -Rdd libcl'. Make sure emacs etc. still work afterwards.

Thanks, I was able to uninstall libcl. Emacs didn't work, complaining about missing that library, but after installing the catalyst package it worked again. Thanks for the help.
