My guess is that you already installed nvidia 1.0.9755 using the nvidia installer (or some other non-pacman method). If that's the case you can force the nvidia install, and then proceed with your regular -Syu.

I think you are right that is exactly what I did.
thanks

No problem. pacman is an excellent package manager, as you know, but it will never be able to account for software that it doesn't install. Use the packages in the repos, and all will be well.

If you need a new version of nvidia, or anything else, before we put it in the repos, use ABS (Arch Build System) to build it and pacman to install it. ABS details are in the wiki if you need them.
