You might be able to work around the problem by building Mir against
vanilla Mesa (which does not depend on Mir). That might work, as a slow
and painful workaround.

** Also affects: mesa (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Changed in: mesa (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Won't Fix

** Description changed:

- Mir/Mesa have a dependency cycle so cannot be upgraded.
+ Mir/Mesa have a dependency cycle so cannot build if there are any
+ significant changes in one (like a soname/ABI bump).
  
  Mesa depends on mirclient
  mirserver depends on Mesa
  
  what makes it a cycle is that mirclient and mirserver are a single
  source package. So if anything changes (like libmirclient0 changing to
  libmirclient1) then we're stuck and can't rebuild anything. Not sure
  which chicken or egg came first and how we made it work originally.
