I do have cudNN installed also. Is that why it could be conflicting?

Re: [Solved] Error upgrading cuda-8.0

1. Partial updates are unsupported. Never run pacman -Sy to install something.
2. Where did that file come from?

1. Sorry, my bad. Actually I never do it like this. It's just that I wanted to isolate the package that is causing the problem for this report. The rest of the system upgrade was irrelevant.
2. I don't know how to find this information.

Update: 2. That package was installed with cuda.

$ pacman -Ql | grep libOpenCL
cuda /opt/cuda/lib64/libOpenCL.so

Update2: My bad again... This is not the same file. I don't know where libOpenCL.so.1 comes from.

Hello

I had the same problem

libOpenCL.so.1 is a symlink to libOpenCL.so

You just have to remove /opt/cuda/lib64/libOpenCL.so.1 and redo pacman -Syu

A+

Thanks for pointing that out. Indeed it solved the problem.
