nvidia-340xx wants to remove mesa-libgl and bumblebee

Hello,

I have a laptop with switchable graphics. I setup bumblebee to work correctly. Now that I have to switch to nvidia-340xx, it tells me that it conflicts with mesa-libgl, bumblebee etc. Looking at the different packages, their dependencies and conflicts, I cannot fully understand it. But there seem to be some differences between nvidia and nvidia-340xx. Whatever dependency resolution magic the devs did with the nvidia packages to make it compatible with bumblebee, seems to be missing for the nvidia-340xx packages. Or is there just any specific order in which I need to install the packages to make it work?

Bug report has already been filed. The bumblebee package "provides" nvidia-libgl, but not nvidia-340xx-libgl, so it will only work with the nvidia package right now.
