Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  nvidia-utils provides libgl. if anything, this may be a pacman bug, but without an actual error message, there is nothing we can do.

I forgot to mention that the libGL.so library provided by nvidia-utils is incompatible with the current build of dosbox. So it needs to be recompiled.

Also, nvidia-utils should probably have
provides=('libgl')
in its PKGBUILD !
