dependancy trouble when performing full system upgrade

Below is the output from pacman:

:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace esd with extra/esound? [Y/n] y
:: Replace synaptics with extra/xf86-input-synaptics? [Y/n] y
resolving dependencies...
warning: dependency cycle detected:
warning: xorg-server will be installed before its catalyst-utils dependency
looking for inter-conflicts...
warning: removing 'libgl' from target list because it conflicts with 'catalyst-utils'
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: xf86-video-ati: requires libgl>=7.2

Checked the news and theads on here and not seen anyone with simular problems so I'm really not quite sure how to tackle this one...

Re: dependancy trouble when performing full system upgrade

sorry, i should have added a bit more detail about my setup:

it's an ASUS X51RL-series laptop. It has an ATI radeon xpress 1100 GFX chip.
I'm running KDE4 + compiz-fusion

I'm guessing the problem is related to the xorg upgrade? Beyond that I'm not sure how best to address the dependances.

You're right, I don't need it.
Stupid me.

Re: dependancy trouble when performing full system upgrade

heirrook - have you searched the forum/read the wiki? The topic here is a dependency conflict, so it's possible that those who may be able to help you won't read this thread. If you can't find a solution elsewhere (unlikely IMO), start a new thread.
