I knew that dpkg-divert can't move files between different filesystems, but I never saw a system where /usr/share was actually on a different filesystem than /usr. I'll divert libGL to /usr/lib/fglrx/diversions rather than /usr/share/... because according to the FHS the latter can in fact be on a different filesystem, if I understand correctly. See http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#USRSHAREARCHITECTUREINDEPENDENTDATA I couldn't find a concise explanation of what can and can't be on different filesystems, but I'm hoping that nobody keeps /usr/X11R6 and /usr/lib on different filesystems. Also, the plan is to deprecate /usr/X11R6 entirely in the near future (Ubuntu already did so). While we're at it, libGL is not architecture-independent so placing it anywhere within /usr/share was incorrect anyway. The next package version will hopefully also support AMD64, so this problem will have to be addressed for the 32-bit libGL on AMD64 too: it's not unlikely to have /emul/ia32-linux and /usr/share on different filesystems. -- Ciao, Flavio -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
