Bug#398677: nvidia-glx fixups
Package: nvidia-glx-dev Version: 1.0.8776-1 There are a few minor bugs that should be cleaned up in the debian packaging scripts for nvidia. 1) nvidia-glx-dev.links and nvidia-glx-dev.links.in create malformed links because a # exists before the link name in the links file. Also, the second line in the file which creates a link to nvidia includes in incorrect. Both lines should be removed from nvidia-glx-dev.links(.in). 2) A diversion is created and referenced to /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 (but this link is never created in /usr/lib). 3) Incorrect links are created in /usr/lib/nvidia for libGL.so.xlibmesa, libGL.so.1.xlibmesa, and libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa. Should all of these xlibmesa library links refer to /usr/lib/libGL.so? Regards. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I didn't correct that file in 8776 2) A diversion is created and referenced to /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 (but this link is never created in /usr/lib). I'm not sure what you are getting at here. /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 from libgl1-mesa-glx is diverted to /usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa which shows up if libgl1-mesa-glx is installed. What link in /usr/lib are you talking about? 3) Incorrect links are created in /usr/lib/nvidia for libGL.so.xlibmesa, libGL.so.1.xlibmesa, and libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa. Should all of these xlibmesa library links refer to /usr/lib/libGL.so? No, these are diversions of symlinks, not properly functioning ones. -- Randall Donald [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.khensu.org[EMAIL PROTECTED] Programmer/Debian Developer GnuPG: 6C27DEAB -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

2) A diversion is created and referenced to /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 (but this link is never created in /usr/lib). I'm not sure what you are getting at here. /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 from libgl1-mesa-glx is diverted to /usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa which shows up if libgl1-mesa-glx is installed. What link in /usr/lib are you talking about? I'm sorry, I didnt understand the proper function of a diversion. So if a package tries to install one of the diverted files, it gets placed in /usr/lib/nvidia (with an xlibmesa extension). 3) Incorrect links are created in /usr/lib/nvidia for libGL.so.xlibmesa, libGL.so.1.xlibmesa, and libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa. Should all of these xlibmesa library links refer to /usr/lib/libGL.so? No, these are diversions of symlinks, not properly functioning ones. So, the libraries in /usr/lib/nvidia are not really used, but kept to store the diverted file?
