Hmm, mesa depends on libgl, and nvidia should provide libgl, so it shouldn't be complaining about mesa.
The conflict part is correct, though.

It's a pacman bug at the moment pacman installs a package. libgl-dri becomes the dependency for mesa in the local database when installing it on the system. Either leave it libgl, or make pacman do a re-lookup on the repository package database when these things act up.

Fixed in CVS.

Until a new pacman is released, you can work around this by manually removing libgl-dri first.

# pacman -Rd libgl-dri
# pacman -S nvidia
