[arch-general] Not being able to upgrade system because of catalyst-hook

Hi all,

For almost a month, I have been unable to upgrade my system (# sudo 
pacman -Su), apparently because catalyst-hook won't work with Linux 4.7. 
I thought that in a few weeks atmost, catalyst-hook would be 'upgraded' 
to support Linux 4.7, but still no luck.

I am a beginner, so may be I am missing something. I couldn't find any 
such info on archWiki. Here's how I have been upgrading my system for 
the last year:

 >sudo pacman -Syy

BTW I am using xorg117. Any help would be appreciated!
