There is a dependency in nvidia/PKGBUILD which is totally wrong depends=( [...] "nvidia-utils=${pkgver}")
It leads to a circular dependency at ***build*** time and isn't really
at run time for nvidia to work.
depends=( [...] "nvidia-utils") should be enough to pull it in when installing/updating
I've reported it last year but didn't got any response from the
needed maintainer.
Have you tried installing different versions of nvidia-utils and nvidia? There's a reason for that versions dependency.
I did once by mistake, that wasn't pretty. No the hard dependencies are required, the problem is the depends array implies makedepends, but sometimes it is wrong like here. Making depends and makedepends independent, then have makepkg check for depends only at install time would make more sense. However that would mean a rewrite of these 2 arrays in all the PKGBUILDs in the AUR, I don't see that happening. -- Alucryd "In the name of God, impure souls of the living dead shall be banished into eternal damnation.
