Package manager cannot resolve "nvidia-450xx-utils" dependency #3

Hello everyone
I wanted to update my system using sudo pacman -Syyu that I got this error:

:: Starting full system upgrade...
warning: freedownloadmanager: local (6.11.0.3218-2) is newer than community (6.11.0.3218-1)

:: The following packages cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:

What should I do?

Same here on kernel 5.4:

Same on kernel 5.8.

Did anyone resolve this? I get the same thing


It seems that the NVIDIA driver got a version bump from 450.66 to 450.82, but the “nvidia-450xx-utils” didn’t made it, for now.
You can check that is really not available yet with “sudo pacman -Ss nvidia-450”


Personally, and even if I’m always doing my update with the CLI, I went to the GUI and deselected everything that was in relation with NVIDIA, mhwd, manjaro-release, linux-firmware and the kernel, so that I stil can get the other updates (especially Firefox).

And I will wait until this situation get sorted, which won’t certainly be long


Are you guys on the stable branch? Because I have the same issue (stable branch), but I was unable to find in the Announcements category, that the new driver was even released yet. And now I am afraid, that somehow I got packages from the Unstable repos.

Hi all, same problem here. (Stable Branch, Cinnamon, LTS Kernel 5.4)

I solved the issue by upgrading to nvidia-455xx

to remove old driver:

sudo mhwd -r pci video-nvidia-450xx

to install the new version

sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300

You are a hero.

Same problem in kernel 5.8.

Hi,

I tried the solution proposed by @ext-2 and I got an error but inspired by its idea I use the manjaro driver configuration and delete the 450xx driver and auto install opensource. Then it works fine and after I was able to update kernel.

see this

I’m on video-hybrid-amd-nvidia-450xx-prime, but the issue still exists

I don’t have cuda installed
So I don’t think that’s the problem

I’m also on stable and I can’t really see how you would have gotten packages from the unstable repos, unless you did it on purpose :wink:
Nevertheless, you can check with
cat /etc/pacman-mirrors.conf
if you still have
## Branch Pacman should use (stable, testing, unstable)
Branch = stable

I didn’t find any annoucements too, and I’m not in a hurry to update my driver, so I will check the whole thing back tomorrow, sometime patience is a virtue


I checked those files, and I am on stable. It seems that someone just forgot to put the nvidia utils in the repos for this particular version. In the meantime I just noticed, that the 455xx branch is out, which has all the dependencies, so I updated to that version. This way the problem is no more.

Why can’t people wait for the announcement ?!?. The issue is now fixed.

Thank you ext-2!

i have frend who is on video-hybrid-amd-nvidia-450xx-prime and still has this issue :: unable to satisfy dependency 'nvidia-450xx-utils=450.80.02' required by linux59-nvidia-450xx he is on stable branch
