I can't update my system, so what i can to do?

That's error by 'pacman -Syu' command.

(198/198) checking for file conflicts              [######################] 100%
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
/usr/lib/libglapi.so exists in both 'mesa-full' and 'libglapi'
/usr/lib/libglapi.so.0 exists in both 'mesa-full' and 'libglapi'
/usr/lib/libglapi.so.0.0.0 exists in both 'mesa-full' and 'libglapi'

Thanks for you support.

BTW, I'm using with this release for mesa and ATI drivers: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=79509

Inform whoever maintains that unofficial repo - they need to fix it.

How i can fix this?

Did you read my post?

The only way you can fix it is to stop using that unofficial radeon repo. If you want to keep on using it, the repo's maintainers will need to resolve the conflict with the official repos.

For the moment you should be able to just remove the libglapi package.
I believe its functionality is included in mesa-full but maybe somebody knows it better than me.

If it is needed by something, then you should be able to just remove it without dependency checking with

pacman -Rdd libglapi

but then you should really keep in mind that in the future you might have to again install it in case 3d doesn't work.

[root@localhost /]# pacman -Rdd libglapi
error: 'libglapi': target not found

And i really need to use with that.. I have new ATI Card (HD6950), and the driver on repo no work for me..

So.. I just remove ALL my git rls, and reinstall...
Now all work great..

Thanks you guys.

Then I misread the problem: Pacman apparently wanted to update your packages so that one of the updated packages would have had libglapi as a dependency while you also had mesa-full updated.
I always thought pacman could be a bit more helpful in these cases with showing why it wants to install the respective package i.e. what depends on them so you can resolve the conflict more easily.

In case somebody else is reading this: It would have probably worked this way:

pacman -Rdd mesa-full
pacman -Su
pacman -S mesa-full # resolve conflict manually
