Upgrade issue
I did a dist-upgrade on my sid box tonight, and ran into two debs that
are being a thorn in my side. The first one is
xlibmesa-gl-dev_4.2.1-12.1_i386.deb and the second is
nvidia-glx-dev_1.0.4496-5_i386.deb. Currently I have
[defiant /home/storm]# dpkg -l xlibmesa-gl-dev nvidia-glx-dev
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold

ii nvidia-glx-dev 1.0.4496-2.1 NVIDIA binary

With nvidia-glx-dev, I know it is a dependency on xlibmesa-gl-dev. But
xlibmesa gives me the following:
[defiant /home/storm]# dpkg -i

I am loathe to --force-all, can someone point out where the install is
going wrong?
Thanks,
