[solved] warning: dependency cycle detected

When I try to update today,  I get the following warning:

 pacman -Suy
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
warning: dependency cycle detected:
warning: nvidia-libgl will be installed before its nvidia-utils dependency

Packages (15) lib32-llvm-libs-3.7.0-2  lib32-mesa-11.0.1-1  lib32-nvidia-libgl-355.11-1  lib32-nvidia-utils-355.11-1  linux-4.2.1-1  linux-firmware-20150904.6ebf5d5-1  linux-headers-4.2.1-1  llvm-libs-3.7.0-3  mesa-11.0.1-1  nvidia-355.11-2  nvidia-libgl-355.11-1  nvidia-utils-355.11-1
              virtualbox-host-modules-5.0.4-2  xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin-1.5.1-1  xfsprogs-4.2.0-1

Can I just complete the update and pacman will fix any problems or do I have to do anything manually?

Regards,

BTJ

Re: [solved] warning: dependency cycle detected

Just update.  nvidia-libgl depends on nvidia-utils and nvidia-utils depends on nvidia-libgl.   Ideally that should be avoided, but sometimes packaging without such an issue is not possible.
