In my DRI CVS snapshot packages, I'd like to divert libGL from xlibmesa3. I
expected that to be a simple matter of diverting
/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2, but the result was this:
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 24 2002-12-07 10:54 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.2.nodri-trunk
- -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 805452 2002-12-05 20:55 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2
- -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 491608 2002-11-23 09:05 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2.nodri-trunk
dpkg seems to adjust symlinks to diverted files, which kinda makes sense
(except it doesn't adjust /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 ->
../X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2). So I tried to divert the symlink as well:
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 24 2002-12-07 10:54 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.2.nodri-trunk
- -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 805452 2002-12-05 20:55 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2
- -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 491608 2002-11-23 09:05 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2.nodri-trunk
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12 2002-11-30 17:17 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.nodri-trunk -> libGL.so.1.2
No luck, it diverts the unchanged symlink but still adjusts the replacement.
Any ideas how to fix or at least work around this appreciated.
