I'm not sure where you're being serious or not, but angry rants--with or
without obscenities--are pretty normal for Mr. Torvalds. The Swedes are not
a single hive-mind, after all.

I wouldn't read too much into it.

Back on topic: My experience is that libdrm and associated packages tend to
be fairly tightly linked to each other, and it it is not unusual for one
version of a package to be dependent on a specific version of another
package. Even when it looks like you are doing an innocuous upgrade to a
point release, you upgrade the packages independently of each other
entirely at your own peril.

Beyond that, the other replies have offered better advice than I could have
given for dealing with this particular issue. Good luck!
