I used these commands to get info:

rm -rf /var/lib/pacman/current

pacman3 -Sy

yes | pacman3 -S xorg-server xorg-clients xf86-input-keyboard
xf86-input-mouse xf86-video-vmware --debug > S-debug.txt

pacman3 -Qi xorg-res-utils > Qi.txt

cat /var/lib/pacman/current/xorg-res-utils-1.0.0-1/depends >
current-xorg-res-utils-depends.txt

cat /var/lib/pacman/local/xorg-res-utils-1.0.0-1/depends >
local-xorg-res-utils-depends.txt

yes | pacman3 -Rs xorg-server xorg-clients xf86-input-keyboard
xf86-input-mouse xf86-video-vmware --debug > Rs-debug.txt

Same for --debug=3, see S-debug3.txt and Rs-debug3.txt

For output see http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/5775#comment12437
(except pacman3 doesn't show "warning: cannot find package "mesa" or
anything that provides it!" 75 times)

I think I know why you cannot reproduce this.
When you did pacman3 -S ... you got xorg-res-utils-1.0.3-1, right?
I updated one of my machines today and db corruption has gone.
From the time #5775 was opened until recent xorg-res-utils update it was valid.
I have 2 snapshots of full ftp.archlinux.org mirror done with rsync.
Older (~10 days ago) has xorg-res-utils-1.0.0-1, newer was done this
night and has 1.0.3-1.
I will try both today and make a diff of output.
I think we must find a reason of db corruption now, so this won't
happen again in future.
