[SOLVED] dependency conflicts when running pacman -Syu

whitewizard · 2014-03-11 17:13:10

When I attempt to run pacman -Syu, I get this:

[whitewizard@arch ~]$ sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 catalyst is up to date
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date

   1) catalyst-libgl  2) catalyst-utils-pxp
:: Repository extra
   3) mesa-libgl  4) nvidia-304xx-libgl  5) nvidia-libgl

Enter a number (default=1):

:: lib32-cairo: requires lib32-libgl
:: lib32-glu: requires lib32-libgl
:: lib32-qt4: requires lib32-libgl
:: steam: requires lib32-libgl

I have the catalyst utils intsalled, and they should work for steam. I ran pacman -Syu about a week ago and I didn't have these problems.
Any help would be appreciated.

I would guess that you need a lib32-catalyst-libgl, though it appears that lib32-catalyst-utils provides this (for now?).

whitewizard · 2014-03-11 19:18:16

The lib32-catalyst-utils should provide that, and I do have them installed.

I am having the same issue, only with nvidia drivers rather than ATI.

For nvidia, do "pacman -Syu nvidia-304xx-libgl". I assume something similar will work for catalyst.

adoa · 2014-03-11 21:57:41

There was something about libgl, mesa and the drivers in the forums.

Hi Allan, thanks, but doing that I get

looking for inter-conflicts...
:: nvidia-304xx-libgl and nvidia-304xx-utils are in conflict (libgl). Remove nvidia-304xx-utils?

is removing the utils package safe? Has it must have been split into multiple packages rather than one big one?

karol · 2014-03-12 00:14:54

My only guess is that nvidia-304xx-utils is going to be reinstalled as nvidia-304xx-libgl 304.119-3 dependency
https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … c924739b1d

Remove nvidia-304xx-utils and see what happens.

It won't let me...

'man pacman' and go to the 'TRANSACTION OPTIONS' part.

Okay so I used the double d option but now I get

Should I just manually delete all those files and try again?

karol · 2014-03-12 00:58:28

What if you run

sudo pacman -Syu nvidia-304xx-libgl

Good idea! If only I had not mentioned it a few posts above:

Anyway, the "u" is important there... I think you are missing it.

I know you did mention it, Allan, but that was yesterday (at lest for my timezone ;P) :-)

Try

Thanks Karol, that sorted it, it's hard to describe how awesomely helpful (and prompt) you are. I can't see any thanking mechanism but if I am being blind please point me to it.

karol · 2014-03-12 01:41:35

Thank you for the kind words :-) There's no 'Like' or any similar 'Thumbs up' system on the forums.
I already get too much credit for my contributions. IMHO people like the developers, TUs and moderators are the real heroes.

Thanks karol, saved me a lot of time too.

whitewizard · 2014-03-15 22:13:50

Well, I've fixed it.
When I tried 'sudo pacman -Syu catalyst-utils', it told me there was a conflict with libcl. So then I just ran 'sudo pacman -Syu libcl' and it installed perfectly. In fact, it even installed an update of the catalyst drivers which fixed some input lag issues I was having with source games. Awesome.

Well, thanks for all of your help!
