Re: [SOLVED]Unable to upgrade due to X-server and Catalyst conflicting

What happen if you first reinstall catalyst-utils from the [catalyst] repository before doing the full upgrade?

pacman -S catalyst-utils

Re: [SOLVED]Unable to upgrade due to X-server and Catalyst conflicting

What i did:

/etc/pacman.conf

IgnorePkg   = xorg-server
IgnoreGroup = xorg-drivers

...

[xorg116]
Server = http://catalyst.wirephire.com/repo/xorg116/$arch
## Mirrors, if the primary server does not work or is too slow:
#Server = http://mirror.rts-informatique.fr/archlinux-catalyst/repo/xorg116/$arch
#Server = http://mirror.hactar.bz/Vi0L0/xorg116/$arch

And then

sudo pacman -Syyu

Re: [SOLVED]Unable to upgrade due to X-server and Catalyst conflicting

If I update catalyst-utils before system upgrade this happens.

[disco@discolap ~]$ sudo pacman -S catalyst-utils

And I thought clfarron4 recommended that I do not add xorg-server to the ignore package.

Re: [SOLVED]Unable to upgrade due to X-server and Catalyst conflicting

I've been using Arch for less than year now, so i'm not an Arch guru, but i'm almost sure that you won't be able to upgrade your system if you don't ignore xorg-server.

Pacman is trying to upgrade xorg-server but because catalyst-utils needs <1.17, it will never satisfy that dependency.

As clfarron4 said, she doesn't recommend add xorg-server because you may have other xorg-* packages, but you can ignore them all if they are in the xorg and xorg-drivers group.

#IgnorePkg   =
IgnoreGroup = xorg xorg-drivers

Alright thank you very much I understand now.

I'm marking this as solved, thanks to everyone that helped me.

Re: [SOLVED]Unable to upgrade due to X-server and Catalyst conflicting

I'm update catalyst-test and then... it's WORK. After finish, run pacman -Syu again with no problem.

"yaourt -S catalyst-test"
