I think I see where you're going.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ls -l /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
ls: cannot access /usr/lib/libGL.so.1: No such file or directory
The file that's going to be "overwritten" doesn't even exist, but's its
listed as being a part of another package.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# dpkg -S /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
libgl1-mesa-glx: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# aptitude reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ls -l /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
ls: cannot access /usr/lib/libGL.so.1: No such file or directory
The dpkg file database doesn't seem to match the actual file system.
I did an 'aptitude remove libgl1-mesa-glx' and aptitude came up with
this plan of action:
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Remove the following packages:
kubuntu-desktop
libgl1-mesa-dri
Install the following packages:
libgl1-mesa-swx11 [7.2-1ubuntu1 (intrepid)]
libosmesa6 [7.2-1ubuntu1 (intrepid)]
Leave the following dependencies unresolved:
xserver-xorg recommends libgl1-mesa-dri
xserver-xorg-core recommends libgl1-mesa-dri (>= 7.1~rc1)
xserver-xephyr recommends libgl1-mesa-dri (>= 7.1~rc1)
So now I have this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# dpkg -S /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
libgl1-mesa-swx11: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ls -l /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2008-10-16 14:41 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 ->
libGL.so.1.5.070200
But 'aptitude install nvidia-glx-173' puts me right back to the same
spot:
The following NEW packages will be installed:
dkms{a} fakeroot{a} libgl1-mesa-glx{a} nvidia-173-kernel-source{a}
nvidia-glx-173
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libgl1-mesa-swx11{a}

Maybe this makes sense to someone:
