Problem dependencies with libgl and nvidia-173xx [Solved]

Hi everybody!
I installed Gnome3 on My PC. also i installed whole packages in xorg ... that included libgl. so i rm nvidia. but now i need nvidia for 3D effects again. but many of my apps need libgl and won't let me to rm libgl and install nvidia-173xx again.
first i run pacman to install nvidia-173xx.

$sudo pacman -S nvidia-173xx
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: nvidia-173xx-utils and libgl are in conflict. Remove libgl? [y/N] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: ati-dri: requires libgl=7.10.1
:: intel-dri: requires libgl=7.10.1
:: mach64-dri: requires libgl=7.10.1
:: mga-dri: requires libgl=7.10.1
:: r128-dri: requires libgl=7.10.1
:: savage-dri: requires libgl=7.10.1
:: sis-dri: requires libgl=7.10.1
:: tdfx-dri: requires libgl=7.10.1

so i try to do this:

$ sudo pacman -Rd libgl
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: amaya: requires libgl
:: ati-dri: requires libgl=7.10.1
:: blender-bin: requires libgl
:: compiz-core: requires libgl
:: gnome-session: requires libgl
:: google-talkplugin: requires libgl
:: intel-dri: requires libgl=7.10.1
:: libreoffice: requires libgl
:: libva: requires libgl
:: mach64-dri: requires libgl=7.10.1
:: mesa: requires libgl
:: mga-dri: requires libgl=7.10.1
:: mplayer: requires libgl
:: qt: requires libgl
:: r128-dri: requires libgl=7.10.1
:: savage-dri: requires libgl=7.10.1
:: sis-dri: requires libgl=7.10.1
:: stellarium: requires libgl
:: tdfx-dri: requires libgl=7.10.1
:: wxgtk: requires libgl
:: xine-lib: requires libgl
:: xorg-xdriinfo: requires libgl

i installed these apps without libgl but i don't know why these need libgl now! any idea to install nvidia-173xx again?

nvidia-utils provides non-versioned libgl. You do not need any of the packages with versioned libgl deps.

hmmm. but now how can i install nvidia without uninstalling these apps? (such as LibreOffice, Blender-bin, Amaya, gnome-session !, ...) or i should rm all of them and install them again?

You only need to remove the *-dri packages as ngoonee mentioned.

+

pacman -Rdd libgl

then install nvidia stuff

BTW: i believe that nvidia-utils' PKGBUILD should also have:
replaces=('libgl')
