Next time please send this to the appropriate mailing list (arch-general
or aur-general in most cases) and if you feel it's necessary you can
still CC the maintainers.

multilib/lib32-nvidia-utils (275.09.07-1) : /usr/lib32/libOpenCL.so
extra/nvidia-utils (275.09.07-1) : /usr/lib/libOpenCL.so

There is no conflict.

We only have one in our repos so there's nothing to do as far as I can tell.
