@wviana and others. Warning the procedures also uninstall steam. I have to typically install steam doing
pacman -Sdd steam
however reinstalling steam the same way was also no problem.
because for some time steam complains about lib32 stuff for nvidia, its clearly broken and has been for some months.
I had the same error message. I took these steps. First I removed all.
yay -Rc nvidia-470xx-dkms lib32-nvidia-470xx-utils
Then I simple reinstalled them, since they are not present on the system, no dependency errors, and since they reinstalled simultaneously, there is no problem.
yay -S nvidia-470xx-dkms lib32-nvidia-470xx-utils
If not using a helper like yay, I guess you would do something like.
makepkg -sri
From each directory of the extracted snapshot files. It should work, although I don't do this anymore since it has become increasingly complicated to install these drivers correctly. However if doing the manual way issue 'sudo mkinitcpio -p linux' after installing, that usually solved most problems for me in the past.
There will come a time when our hardware is no longer updated, breakage is to be expected at some point.
