Let me see if I understand the problem correctly: if someone builds a package that links against libGL.so.1 while fglrx-driver is installed, the package will depend on fglrx-driver instead of xlibmesa-gl? I had a feeling that diverting the ldconfig symlink was not a good idea, even if lintian and several actual people complained that I should do so, but I didn't anticipate this particular problem. Are there other packages that divert library symlinks? How do they solve this problem? Would it work if I added a shlibs file with the same contents as the xlibmesa-gl.shlibs file? What if a program links against libGL.so.1.2 (the actual file) rather than the symlink? -- Ciao, Flavio -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
