Re: warning: provider package was selected
It means that a package depends on glut, but there is no glut package in repos. freeglut provides the functionality of glut and so is selected instead.

Re: warning: provider package was selected
IOW, "glut" is a symbolic link to "freeglut" and pacman is just warning you that it has followed that link.
