Bug#630225: [nvidia-installer-cleanup] Does not install correctly, though nvidia works!
retitle 630225 [nvidia-installer-cleanup] does not handle local diversions of libglx.so reopen 630225 tags 630225 + wontfix thanks On 2011-06-19 14:36, David Baron wrote: (So why did not the installation script offer to remove that local diversion? Because I never encountered such a thing. And if I can't see that this happens regularily I'm not going to write extra code for this anomaly. Anyone going from Nvidia's installer to ours is likely to have put in this diversion. Otherwise, every time xorg-core is upgraded, one needs to reinstall the glx library. So it would not hurt to include in the script. Indeed, this might be considered a (lower priority) bug on the installer. Reopening and retitling the bug report while marking it as wontfix until a number of other users has the same problem. Or someone sends a patch. Eventually a fix should go into the updated diversion handling instead, see the glx-alternatives source package.
