Package: libgl1-mesa-glide3 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
On a nearly fresh Etch install with a Voodoo II and a Matrox G200 AGP, as well as on an older testing installation without a Voodoo card, I cannot install "libgl1-mesa-glide3", as it would cause removal of "xorg" due to dependency problems: ----------- snip ----------- # aptitude install -PD libgl1-mesa-glide3 Reading package lists...

Abort. # ----------- snip ----------- As far as I can tell, "libgl1-mesa-glide3" conflicts with "libgl1", which is provided by "libgl1-mesa-glx" -- and as "xorg" depends on "libgl-mesa-glx", this won't work together. As a layman, I wonder if this problem could be solved if "xorg" wouldn't depend on "libgl-mesa-glx", but on "libgl" instead (if that makes sense). -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i586) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-486 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
