I don't think this is needed since nvidia-libgl already provides libgl.

Cool, thanks. I didn't have the 'nvidia-libgl' package installed and prior to this 313.30-1 version 'libgl' was provided by 'nvidia-utils'. Probably, it'd be a good idea to have 'nvidia-libgl' as a dependency for either 'nvidia' or 'nvidia-utils'.

This is apparently a pacman problem that will get fixed with a new version of pacman.
