I renamed libgl-dri to just libgl. fglrx-utils and nvidia-utils still provide libgl but now must be explicitly installed. Then it's all back to the way it used to work. Pacman will just ignore the real libgl package on upgrades.

Erm. I don't know if this is a real question or rhetorical, but I just want to point out that package names are searched for an exact match first, THEN provides, so a package will always be installed BEFORE a provides entry.

That's exactly why libgl-dri was renamed to libgl. For a saner default. Also, I don't see anything close to a question there, I think what Alex said was clear :) The libgl package will be ignored on upgrades AFTER fglrx-utils or nvidia-utils have been explictly installed.
