multilib upgrade dependency problem

I just added [multilib] to my pacman.conf, and now I run into this issue:

# pacman -Syyu

I don't really want to have nvidia-utils installed as I don't have an nvidia card, but it appears to be an indirect dependency of wine.  What's the proper approach to resolving this dependency issue?

Re: multilib upgrade dependency problem

I don't think nvidia-utils is a dependency of wine. I have an ATI card, and this is what I get when I try to install wine. Are you sure you are not trying to install any nvidia drivers? maybe you copied the command from somewhere....

Proceed with installation? [Y/n] n

As for your lib32-libstdc++5, what I did was I uninstalled google-talkplugin (which was using lib32-libstdc++5), then upgraded. Then when I tried to re-install google-talkplugin, it re-installed lib32-libstdc++5. It's a workaround since lib32-libstdc++5 doesn't exist in multilib.

Re: multilib upgrade dependency problem

It has nothing to do with multilib, nvidia has it's own implementation so you have to decide: libgl and nouveau or nvidia. If, however, you don't have an nvidia card ...

libxxf86dga is a dependency of wine, but nvidia-things are not.

Re: multilib upgrade dependency problem

This is what made me think nvidia-utils was a dependency of wine:

[root@studio15 ~]# pacman -R lib32-nvidia-utils
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: lib32-mesa: requires lib32-libgl
[root@studio15 ~]# pacman -R lib32-nvidia-utils lib32-mesa
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: lib32-qt: requires lib32-mesa
:: lib32-qt3: requires lib32-mesa
:: wine: requires lib32-mesa

I don't remember choosing lib32 packages to go with wine, so I'm not sure why it chose lib32-nvidia-utils instead of lib32-libgl... but iInstalling lib32-libgl to replace lib32-nvidia-utils seems to have solved that part.

Then as Inxsible suggested, I had to remove lib32-libstdc++5 (and google-talkplugin), then I can update.   It's going to take a while so I'll check back later, but it looks to be working.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Re: multilib upgrade dependency problem

I believe that libGL.so for nvidia cards is provided by (lib32-)nvidia-utils rather than (lib32-)libgl. I believe there should be some conflict between (lib32-)libgl and nvidia.

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