[SOLVED] "mesa-libgl and nvidia-libgl-beta are in conflict"

I just tried to install blueman (GTK+ bluetooth manager), and I was greeted with the pleasant message:

:: mesa-libgl and nvidia-libgl-beta are in conflict (libgl). Remove nvidia-libgl-beta? [y/N]

I've looked it up and seen many similar scenarios (with nvidia-libgl instead of nvidia-libgl-beta), but they all seemed to be resolved by uninstalling nouveau; I don't have that installed.

Any ideas as to where I should go from here?

The blueman package in the AUR doesn't specifically depend on mesa-libgl... so I'm not sure why blueman is asking you to install it. Are you using an AUR helper?

Yes; I'm using pacaur.

Re: [SOLVED] "mesa-libgl and nvidia-libgl-beta are in conflict"

You could try downloading the tarball and building blueman with makepkg to rule out pacaur.

# check to see if it's unrelated to blueman and just a conflict during update, force resync
sudo pacman -Syyu

# try building with makepkg and see if it still tries to pull mesa-libgl
curl -L -O https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bl/blueman/blueman.tar.gz
tar -xvf blueman.tar.gz
cd blueman
makepkg -sic

edit: er, /facepalm... I made a mistake. If those two steps don't work then I'm not sure what else you could try.

When exactly do you get this conflict? After running 'pacman -Syu', 'makepkg -si' or ...?

Post the whole pacman output, including how you called pacman.

I just built it with makepkg and it worked. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks!
