Well, the issue for us is that with two upstream sources, the respective
Mesa and XFree86 origins need to provide the same things. Is a version of
Mesa coming out soon that provides all four of these libraries? (libGL +
libGLU + libOSMesa + libGlw)
As I understand it, the currently released version of Mesa doesn't provide
libOSMesa.
Only one Debian package can provide these things at a time. What we do is
have a virtual package called "libgl1" which both the mesag3 and xlibgl1
packages (will) provide. If we need make these provisions more specific it
would be good to know. :)
