Exactly.

You're right. xlibmesa-gl depends on libgl1-mesa-glx and xlibmesa-dri on
libgl1-mesa-dri, that depends on libgl1-mesa-glx. My suposition is that
updating libgl1-mesa-glx. My guess, overall, is that what I should have done
to avoid all issues was upgrading mesa-common-dev (thus forcing upgrades on
libgl1-mesa-dev, libgl1-mesa-dri and libgl1-mesa-glx). My guess is also that
xlibmesa-gl 1:7.2-5 (in testing), should depend on libgl1-mesa-glx 7*
(testing), but isn't specifying any version. If you think this is the case,
then we should open a bug against xlibmesa-gl, and depend on mesa-common-dev
>=7. Anyway, I already upgraded the whole bunch to testing, and I'm going to
test it: I suspect that I'll get a working slviewer again, even if not with
the names on the avatars (which might be an unrelated issue).

We'll see that as soon as I test it. I *hope* it is a mesa issue, but if it
isn't, I'll try the rest.

I'm afraid of that... But can't stop myself on helping as much as I can ;-)
