Description:

The packages python-opengl and mesa conflict.

Additional info:
python-opengl is at 3.0.0.c1-2
mesa is at 7.2-1

python-opengl has never worked, however it has on other installs on this same hardware(that was around a year ago though).

When I try to install python-opengl I get the following error:

[alex@Andromeda mandelbrot]$ sudo pacman -S python-opengl

Ah, I fixed it by installing mesa with -Sf(pacman -Sf mesa), then getting python-opengl from the PyOpenGl website, this ticket can safely be closed now.
