Clash between nvidia-utils and lib32-nvidia-utils

I'm getting a clash between nvidia-utils and lib32-nvidia-utils when upgrading. The error is:

/usr/lib/libnvcuvid.so exists in both 'nvidia-utils' and 'lib32-nvidia-utils'
/usr/lib/libnvcuvid.so.1 exists in both 'nvidia-utils' and 'lib32-nvidia-utils'
/usr/lib/libnvcuvid.so.260.19.29 exists in both 'nvidia-utils' and 'lib32-nvidia-utils'

Anyone else getting this problem?

Those files should not be owned by lib32-nvidia-utils, have you left your system unupgraded for a while? Try to remove lib32-nvidia-utils, -Syu the system, and reinstall it. I'm using nvidia-utils-beta so don't have a direct test.

No, I've been upgrading daily. I've experienced this sort of error before, but the clash has always been with existing files (usually after not upgrading for a while), not between two packages. Uninstalling, -Syu and reinstall didn't work, I still get the error.  I had a look at the .pkg.tar.gz, and it really does contain those files, so it looks like a packaging error.

Re: Clash between nvidia-utils and lib32-nvidia-utils

it was a packaging error in lib32-nvidia-utils 260.19.29-1 but fixed in minutes in 260.19.29-2. I guess your mirror is a lazy when comes to syncing. Just use another mirror and pacman -Syu
