Details
I was trying to build xorg-server, when I have an nVidia
card, so I have
the nvidia and nvidia-utils packages instead of Mesa libgl, since nvidia supplies their own libGL and libGLX. Unfortunately, makepkg was unable to build, saying that I needed libgl, when the nvidia-utils package already provided it. |
This task depends upon

It's not a bug of makepkg/pacman, it's a feature.
Are you sure nvidia provide that ? And I thought nvidia was not even compatible with latest xorg server (1.8).
Since you're building, you can just remove the versioned makedepend and see if it explodes.
but doesn't specify a version..
Anyway, if a package provides a thing but doesn't provide a version,
is it good for anything? I mean, I don't even think
"requires libgl > 0.0" will pass. That strikes to me odd in a way,
and I'm not sure if that's a "feature"
And I have no idea whether it's safe to build xorg-server against nvidia libgl.
