Mesa upgrade error

I've been getting this upgrading issue lately (see below). I already manually installed all installable packages which were being blocked by the only conflicting package, which I was able to isolate, and it appears to be package mesa.
FYI: I am running 64-bit Arch and have nVidia.
I'm stuck, please help. Cheers.

Re: Mesa upgrade error

First, use pacman, not yaourt.  Second, see the common issues on the pacman wiki page[1] and/or the stickied threads[2] on these forums.

Mod note: moving to Newbie Corner.
