[SOLVED] nvidia-390xx 390.87-24 - wrong dependencies

Hi there,

After last update there a bug in dependencies for this package, should be  linux<4.21 and linux>=4.20 .

Can not upgrade my system:

$ sudo pacman -Syyu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core                                        133.8 KiB  1338K/s 00:00 [#######################################] 100%
 extra                                      1695.0 KiB  13.0M/s 00:00 [#######################################] 100%

 multilib                                    174.8 KiB  0.00B/s 00:00 [#######################################] 100%
:: Starting full system upgrade...

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: unable to satisfy dependency 'linux<4.20' required by nvidia-390xx

I have already checked my mirrorlist, I am sure I am using the updated one.

Thanks a lot, V1del. I've uninstalled nvidia-390xx, updated linux to 4.20, downloaded the sources with asp, modified the PKGBUILD and installed back the nvidia-390xx with makepkg. Everything seems to be alright now.

Same problem here,

# pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: unable to satisfy dependency 'linux<4.20' required by nvidia-390xx

I recommend to wait until the bug is fixed.

So, the package has just been updated by the maintainer. Thanks !!!
The regular upgrade

$ sudo pacman -Syyu

has completed without any further problems.
System rebooted, graphical environment working.
Problem solved.

$ sudo pacman -Syyu

has completed without any further problems.

I suggest changing your regular upgrade command to be `pacman -Syu` to avoid unnecessary load on the mirror.
