Arch Linux User Repository

Your pacman database is out-of-date relative to this PKGBUILD. If you have 256.35, then it's even older than the last 256.44. Anyway, the repos contain 256.53 now, and it depends on nvidia-utils=256.53 as well: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/nvidia/ So your entire system is out-of-date. Even mine is, since nvidia-utils is 256.44. So I can reproduce your error here also. You should just update or edit this PKGBUILD to depend on nvidia-utils=$yourcustomversion.

Here is what I have installed from the repository: ----------------------------------------------------- [jsadural@jlinux ~]$ pacman -Ss nvidia-utils extra/nvidia-utils 256.35-4 [installed] NVIDIA drivers utilities and libraries. I tried to build the nvidia-rt package and get this error: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [jsadural@jlinux nvidia-rt]$ makepkg -s ==> Making package: nvidia-rt 256.53-1 (Fri Sep 3 09:28:25 CST 2010) ==> Checking Runtime Dependencies... ==> Installing missing dependencies... error: 'nvidia-utils=256.53': could not find or read package ==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies. I noticed that this prepository has nvidia-utils 256.35-4 but what is required is 256.53. So I went to this link and downloaded and built the proper package It built fine but then and an error when trying to install http://repos.archlinux.org/wsvn/packages/nvidia-utils/repos/extra-x86_64/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [jsadural@jlinux extra-x86_64.r89480]$ sudo pacman -U nvidia-utils-256.53-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts... error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: nvidia: requires nvidia-utils=256.35 Here is the output of the yaourt command: -------------------------------------------- [jsadural@jlinux extra-x86_64.r89480]$ yaourt -Ss nvidia | grep installed extra/libvdpau 0.4-1 [installed] extra/nvidia 256.35-1 [installed] extra/nvidia-utils 256.35-4 [installed] extra/xf86-video-nouveau 0.0.16_git20100517-1 [installed] Seems like a corner case. I am running 64bit processing if that makes any difference...

jsadural: the -4 is not a version, it's only a package-specific release number indicating if a package has been changed. please paste the relevant pacman output; it's difficult to know what happened from your description.

jsadural - the latest nvidia-utils package is 256.53-1 - see : http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/nvidia-utils/ (same for i686) You should be able to upgrade the nvidia-utils package (to 256.53-1) using pacman. If you are getting conflicts trying to upgrade with an existing nvidia-rt package try removing that first, i.e:- pacman -Rd nvidia-rt pacman -Suy (to upgrade nvidia + nvidia-utils) Then build the package. Just to confirm here are my nvidia packages I have installed. [morgan@myhost nvidia-rt]$ yaourt -Ss nvidia | grep installed extra/libvdpau 0.4-1 [installed] extra/nvidia 256.53-1 [installed] extra/nvidia-utils 256.53-1 [installed] multilib/lib32-nvidia-utils 256.53-1 [installed] aur/nvidia-rt 256.53-1 [installed] (28)

Hello Yossarianuk, I tried installing but got an error. The package but the it requires nvidia-utils=256.53 and the latest version of nvidia-utils from pacman is nvidia-utils=256.53-4. I tried to install nvidia-utils 256.53-1 from AUR but then it asks for 256.35 and I didn't want to go down that road. Can you please package the installer to depend on the most recent version nvidia-utils=256.53-4?

updated to driver 256.53 Patch seems to work fine.

done - not sure how long i'll last.... I didn't realise I could take it over and I didn't want to annoy anyone by 'taking their package'. I've only just got into realtime - for Jack2. I am quite obsessive about running the latest versions though .. Its also my first submission - contact me if you have issues
