It looks like the error is happening because of this:

:: There are 3 providers available for nvidia-libgl:
:: Repository extra
   1) nvidia-340xx-utils  2) nvidia-390xx-utils  3) nvidia-utils

Enter a number (default=1): 

And this is the error it causes:

warning: removing 'nvidia-utils' from target list because it conflicts with 'nvidia-340xx-utils'
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: nvidia: requires nvidia-utils=410.66

Installing the nvidia package should default to nvidia-utils, not one of the older ones.

any update on this, I can't install?

This would be helpful for a multitude of people that use nvidia. For the time being, I choose nouveau, go ahead with the installation, and then install nvidia after everything is set up.

Arch Wiki says that NVIDIA doesn't support GeForce 300 and older (the 340xx driver), so we should probably remove this option. In any case I can't seem to find where Anarchy detects the GPU and installs the appropriate drivers.

Any help is appreciated.
