The dep is not missing, so this might be a pacman bug.. http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/11367 To anyone who did not upgrade yet to the latest xorg-server (currently in testing) : Please check that when you upgrade, libpciaccess is indeed in the target list. If anyone sees that it is missing, canceling the operation and running it again with --debug would be very helpful.
When I installed, it did appear as a dependence. On 9/2/08, Xavier <shiningxc@gmail.com> wrote:

Works here: # pacman -S testing/xorg-server resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts... Targets (7): xcb-proto-1.2-1 libxcb-1.1.90.1-1 libx11-1.1.4-3 libpciaccess-0.10.3-1 pixman-0.11.8-1 libdrm-2.3.1-1 xorg-server-1.4.99.906-2 -- Hugo

Seems OK: # pacman -S testing/xorg-server resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts... Targets (7): xcb-proto-1.2-1 libxcb-1.1.90.1-1 libx11-1.1.4-3 libpciaccess-0.10.3-1 pixman-0.11.8-1 libdrm-2.3.1-1 xorg-server-1.4.99.906-2 However trackpoint and keyboard are completely broken and unusable probably thanks to HAL/evdev (page up seen as '/' etc). I'll see if I can get my input sections in xorg.conf recognized by this new xorg. Anyway, this is likely to be a configuration issue rather than a package issue -- Sébastien Mazy

Thanks! Now I can keep the old behaviour (until I play with HAL to get the new xorg working with hotplug and trackpoint) -- Sébastien Mazy

And just for clarification, this looks like a very special bug which appears only under some special circumstances. That is why it is very difficult to reproduce. And that is why I had to ask everyone if they can check whether it is reproducible on their system. In other words, it will go fine for most people. We are only interested by the few cases where it does not go fine :)

Ok, I think you can forget about this problem, it is likely just an user (developer?) mistake which was already made before : http://archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2008-March/011491.html That is, don't use the -d flag which skips all the dependency checking, otherwise you are asking for troubles.
