[solved]Failing to upgrade Kernel and nvidia due to dependencie issues

Hi everyone,

so i tried to update the system using pacman -Syu, however, he "cannot resolve "nvidia-utils=364.16", a dependency of "nvidia"".
Then he asks to skip it, saying yes it goes on and says "error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: nvidia: installing linux (4.5-1) breaks dependency 'linux<4.5'"

I tried using --force, but it had no effect.

€: Before clicking on submit i googled a little bit. Seems like 'they' just forgot to push the newest nvidia-utils package to extra from testing. So waiting may be the best solution.
Is that right?

I tried using --force, but it had no effect.

Please break that habit. --force does not mean "try again, but a bit harder". If you don't know what the problem is, then blindly trying to force an update is going to lead to problems sooner or later.

raist356, wait a bit longer, or switch to an up-to-date mirror.

Sorry for that.
Sovled. I guess not all repos were updated yet. It worked after I added mirror from kernel.org to mirrorlist.
