[solved] Can't update or install steam and eza on NVIDIA

Everything was fine until pacman started giving the following message when updating:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
installing nvidia-utils (550.78-1) breaks dependency 'nvidia-utils=550.76' required by lib32-nvidia-utils

Quite quickly it became obvious that the problem was in three packages
- steam
- lib32-nvidia-utils
and strangely enough the utility
- eza

I deleted them and the system updated and rebooted successfully.

Now I try to install them again and the system gives me the following messages:

$ sudo pacman -S steam                                                                                             1 ↵

   6) lib32-vulkan-swrast  7) lib32-vulkan-virtio

Enter a number (default=1): 2
warning: cannot resolve "nvidia-utils=550.76", a dependency of "lib32-nvidia-utils"
warning: cannot resolve "lib32-vulkan-driver", a dependency of "steam"

When I try to install eza I get this message.

$ sudo pacman -S eza                                                                                               1 ↵

Could you tell me what is going on?

While I was writing nvidia (probably) released a patch and everything fixed itself.

Re: [solved] Can't update or install steam and eza on NVIDIA

BTW if anyone can't run steam after all these adventures (like me) and see something like this:

/home/archbtw/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: line 813: 11632 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) "$STEAMROOT/$STEAMEXEPATH" "$@"

That's because someone broke the lib32-glibc 2.39-3 package.
