> Obviously, this is nvidia-glx's problem, not xorg's. The nvidia-glx package exists, and was here first. You don't get to say it's somebody else's problem when *your* package causes a user's dist-upgrade from sarge to etch to fail. If the nvidia-glx package should not be providing this file, then that's a bug as well, but you haven't given explanation of *why* this is a bug in nvidia-glx. If the file needs to be removed/moved, then it's fine to wait until this is done in nvidia-glx before adding an appropriate Conflicts: or Replaces:, but in the end the bug still needs to be dealt with in xserver-xorg. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
