By the way, how did you install Catalyst? From the AUR or from Vi0L0's
repositories?

If you did it from the AUR, you should already know all this.

If you installed it from Vi0L0's repositories, I think something else is
going on, and you can ignore most of what was said in this thread.
Is it[1] still in your pacman.conf? If it is, also note that you should
upgrade with # pacman -Syu, not # pacman -Su.

Good luck,

I think the OP implied they are using the catalyst & xorg117 repos. This comment on the catalyst-hook AUR package indicates the repo has changed and updating your pacman.conf to reflect this new location may help:

    Atm I'm unable to update wirephire mirror. Don't know when I will get access back.
    Please use hactar mirror:
    [catalyst]
    Server = http://mirror.hactar.bz/Vi0L0/catalyst/$arch

...but I doubt it since the catalyst-hook .PKGINFO available in Vi0L0's repo says: # Wed Jan 20 14:00:08 UTC 2016\ depend = linux<4.5. I cannot understand why your dep error states 'linux<4.7'. This makes me think you may have installed from the AUR instead.

Either way there is something strange going on.

There are also others with your problem complaining on the catalyst-total AUR package [0].

If you use your system for gaming and cannot use the open source driver (which I assume is easier from an admin point of view) then I suggest you look for a combination of packages from the AUR, OP. This may be a permanent or temporary solution for you.

<useless comment> Occasionally I see people suffering with catalyst packages and thank my lucky stars that I don't have to deal with that. Whatever happened to ATI's magical linux-friendly architectural changes they were talking about a couple of years ago?</useless comment>
