You could try adding "--ignore nvidia" or "--ignore libgl-dri" or both to make pacman ignore those upgrades. But when you ask pacman for a --sysupgrade, it's going to try and upgrade all out-of-date packages. And if it can't resolve an issue with one of them, it has no choice but to abort. Automatically ignoring that package and upgrading everything else could break a system pretty easily. That's why the admin must manually --ignore package upgrades in this situation. - J _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
