[Solved] fglrx; Dependency issues with lib32-libgl

Hi,

I am using fglrx from the repository mentioned in the Arch Wiki. When I tried to update the system, I got the following error:

:: Starting full system upgrade...
warning: linux: ignoring package upgrade (3.12.6-1 => 3.13.6-1)
warning: linux-headers: ignoring package upgrade (3.12.6-1 => 3.13.6-1)

:: Es stehen 5 Provider für libgl zur Verfügung:
:: Repositorium catalyst
   1) catalyst-libgl  2) catalyst-utils-pxp
:: Repositorium extra
   3) mesa-libgl  4) nvidia-304xx-libgl  5) nvidia-libgl

Geben Sie eine Zahl ein (Voreinstellung=1):  
warning: dependency cycle detected:
warning: lib32-harfbuzz will be installed before its lib32-freetype2 dependency
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: lib32-cairo: requires lib32-libgl
:: lib32-glu: requires lib32-libgl
:: steam: requires lib32-libgl

Sorry for the german output but I don't know where to switch the output language. So basically it's a problem because there are a few possibilities for libgl. It seem catalyst-utils was split into three different packages (catalyst-utils, catalyst-libgl and opencl-catalyst) which seems to be causing this issue. I found an Arch forum topic (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1253992) regarding a very similiar problem for nvidia drivers with which I solved my issue (sudo pacman -Rdd catalyst-utils, sudo pacman -S catalyst-libgl).

Now I still have the libgl32-libgl issue:

:: Starting full system upgrade...
warning: linux: ignoring package upgrade (3.12.6-1 => 3.13.6-1)
warning: linux-headers: ignoring package upgrade (3.12.6-1 => 3.13.6-1)
resolving dependencies...
warning: dependency cycle detected:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: lib32-cairo: requires lib32-libgl
:: lib32-glu: requires lib32-libgl
:: steam: requires lib32-libgl

The error is stating lib32-harfbuzz will be installed before its dependency lib32-freetype2 and the other packages still need lib32-libgl which I can't install because of catalyst-libgl.

To switch output to English you need to prepend the command with LC_ALL=C, for example...

LC_ALL=C pacman -Syu

Thank you for the tip. I replaced the relevant lines in my original post.

Re: [Solved] fglrx; Dependency issues with lib32-libgl

You still have e.g.

:: Es stehen 5 Provider für libgl zur Verfügung:

that's not English ;P

Why are you trying to do a partial upgrade?

Re: [Solved] fglrx; Dependency issues with lib32-libgl

I don't get this message anymore as I already fixed that problem with removing and reinstalling some of the catalyst-utils packages as described with a very similiar problem for nvidia drivers. What do you mean with partial upgrade? I am trying a pacman -Syu. Some other packages still seem to require the mesa-libgl package instead of catalyst-libgl but I guess I need the catalyst-libgl for fglrx to work properly. That at least is my interpretation of the error.

Re: [Solved] fglrx; Dependency issues with lib32-libgl

pacman -Q linux
linux 3.12.6-1

That's alright. I disable automtatic kernel upgrades as fglrx is slow to update to new kernels and/or XOrg versions. One really "couldnt" use fglrx with auto kernel upgrades as AMD was several month behind with their fglrx drivers. It got a lot better but I still upgrade manually.

Re: [Solved] fglrx; Dependency issues with lib32-libgl

... and of uname -a

Edit:  I note I was a couple seconds slow.  Your answer makes sense, but it is still a good sanity check

might be a packaging issue, but it's harmless.

try pacman -Syu  lib32-catalyst-libgl

Re: [Solved] fglrx; Dependency issues with lib32-libgl

Lone_Wolf, I don't think there's a need for that bright-yellow highlighter. I'm using the default forum theme and it stands out a bit too much.
It's used for [ ins ] i.e. insertion. It's useful to show where somebody made a typo or to highlight my own edit.

I think the issue has been solved anyway.
If so, please mark the thread as solved https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=130309 , andy_0.

I just tried Lone_Wolf's solution and it seems to be working. Thanks for all of your help.
