(I discovered this in pbuilder builds -- this package happens to be the last package listed as a reverse provider in "apt-cache showpkg libgl-dev", so it's the one pbuilder tries -- unsuccessfully -- to install when it sees a Build-Depends on libgl-dev. Not that that isn't broken anyway, but several packages currently have "xlibmesa-dev | libgl-dev", where the first is no longer installable.) -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-1-686 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
