After upgrading, X failed to start with a message about libpciaccess. Installing that fixed the problem... Is this a missing dep somewhere?

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.

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 :)
