Pacman cannot satisfy dependencies because of missing libgl

Hello,

I am using AMD catalyst driver, which should be sufficiend replacement for libgl. However, as multiple packages depend on libgl, I can't update the system. Are there any workarounds, or some way to solve this problem?

Code:

[root@sigma skyer]# pacman -Su

:: Starting full system upgrade...

resolving dependencies...

looking for inter-conflicts...

warning: removing 'libgl' from target list because it conflicts with 'catalyst-utils'

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

:: intel-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2

:: mach64-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2

:: mga-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2

:: r128-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2

:: savage-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2

:: sis-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2

:: tdfx-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2

Thank you for your time,

Skyer

Are you using those packages? I'm guessing you have an AMD card, which means those other *-dri packages shouldn't be needed. What happens when you try to remove them?

None of those are required for your video card, they can be safely removed.

Alright, worked.

I admit I do not exactly understand this graphics card drivers stuff.

Thanks for help, problem solved.
