Details

The libnvidia-wfb.so.${pkgver} is for X.org servers pre-1.3 (April 2007) that don't provide their own libwfb.so: https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/nvidia-utils&id=c4159bf1cf0ca58fec0200103e4af581d6648855, https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/xorg-server/files/

"You shouldn't need libnvidia-wfb.so. That's for really old X servers that don't supply their own libwfb.so."
