There is an existing Debian bug report on just this issue: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=338047 The last comment seems to state authoratively, "libgl1-mesa-dri comes from the mesa source package, not xorg-x11." I'm not willing to download the entirety of Xorg 6.9 just to verfiy this claim. At least a package exists and one does not have to resort to manually locating and installing a file not compiled with the rest of the system. - Nate >> -- Wireless | Amateur Radio Station N0NB | Successfully Microsoft Amateur radio exams; ham radio; Linux info @ | free since January 1998. http://www.qsl.net/n0nb/ | "Debian, the choice of My Kawasaki KZ-650 SR @ | a GNU generation!" http://www.networksplus.net/n0nb/ | http://www.debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
