(Solved, maybe!) Nvidia/BFS problem?

$ sudo pacman -Syu
Password: 
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: nvidia-bfs: requires nvidia-utils=256.53

Sorry for the newbie problem. Any ideas why this is occurring?

edit:
I guess I need to update nvidia-bfs with the newer utils once the bfs update is out? It's trying to update utils without updating nvidia-bfs?

Because nvidia-bfs 256.53 has in depends array "nvidia-utils=256.53". You can temporarily remove nvidia-bfs, upgrade your system and then install nvidia-bfs again. In AUR is already an updated version.

That's a heck of a workaround. I will give it a shot next time I reboot, thanks!
