nvidia-390xx and nvidia-390xx-lts have conflicting dependency

Hello,

It seems there's a dependency conflict between packages nvidia-390xx and nvidia-390xx-lts - each is listing a different version of nvidia-390xx-utils as a dependency (the nvidia-390xx requires utils ver 390.67, the lts requires 390.59).
So trying to install both - fails.

I used to have both nvidia and nvidia-lts installed (I have both linux and linux-lts installed), but recently after upgrading Arch I realized I need to go to 390xx as I have Nvidia NVS 4200M and I saw prints in journalctl saying it is only supported through 390xx legacy drivers (and that resulted in no X...). And yes, it may be an old issue - I haven't updated that Arch for a while (not my primary computer).

Is there a reason the lts uses an older version?
Is there a solution for now to use only one of the versions (lts or non-lts)?

Regards,
Nir

Re: nvidia-390xx and nvidia-390xx-lts have conflicting dependency

For now use nvidia-390xx-dkms or rebuild nvidia-390xx-lts locally updating it to use 390.67
