Also I want to use lib32-libgl for all the 32-bit packages. So as you told me I tried to uninstall catalyst-utils and lib32-catalyst-utils. But I can't uninstall these as they aren't installed. So why the hell am I asked to replace lib32-libgl with lib32-catalyst-utils everytime I upgrade? It is some sort of a bug? What is causing this problem?
