reopen 671086 thanks Hi,
I do not understand the regression. This was possible last year. Plus, what's the point of LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE if the software driver cannot be installed in parallel? At first glance I'd say that if the packages both ship conflicting files, then they shouldn't both ship them. Or maybe I'm just confusing the package names - how are you supposed to have both the DRI and the software renderers installed with Mesa? (LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 is a no-op with only -glx installed) - Sylvain On Tue, May 01, 2012 at 07:42:06PM +0000, Debian Bug Tracking System wrote: > This is an automatic notification regarding your Bug report > which was filed against the libgl1-mesa-glx package: > > #671086: libgl1-mesa-glx: Cannot install both libgl1-mesa-swx11 and > libgl1-mesa-glx > > It has been closed by Cyril Brulebois <k...@debian.org>. > > Their explanation is attached below along with your original report. > If this explanation is unsatisfactory and you have not received a > better one in a separate message then please contact Cyril Brulebois > <k...@debian.org> by > replying to this email. > > > -- > 671086: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=671086 > Debian Bug Tracking System > Contact ow...@bugs.debian.org with problems > Date: Tue, 1 May 2012 21:38:33 +0200 > From: Cyril Brulebois <k...@debian.org> > To: b...@beuc.net, 671086-d...@bugs.debian.org > Subject: Re: Bug#671086: libgl1-mesa-glx: Cannot install both > libgl1-mesa-swx11 and libgl1-mesa-glx > User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.20 (2009-06-14) > > Hi Sylvain, > > b...@beuc.net <b...@beuc.net> (01/05/2012): > > Today, both libgl1-mesa-swx11 and libgl1-mesa-glx provide and conflict with > > libgl1.
