There's a dependency problem, because xorg-server wants GL.h (if i remember correct) which is provided by mesa-lib, which is not installed, thus lin tries to install mesa-lib first, which fails because xorg-server is not installed, and mesa-lib should be installed after xorg-server. So currently only chance to fix that, is to have them both installed previously.

I don't know who broke this but will you PLEASE fit it?
This is ridiculous. If you are going to tinker with a module that 
effects as much as XOrg does then make damn sure it works.
