Cannot upgrade the system due to dependency cycle

Hi there,

I am trying to upgrade the system with

pacman -Syu

Here is what I get:

warning: dependency cycle detected:
warning: xorg-server will be installed before its nvidia-utils dependency
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: ipw3945: requires kernel26<2.6.27

Please help.

Re: Cannot upgrade the system due to dependency cycle

there is no cycle.
ipw3945 is deprecated. http://www.archlinux.org/news/414/
remove it and then try to upgrade your system.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
