I feel like Bill Murray in _Ground Hog Day_, forced to live the same day over and over again... ----- Forwarded message from Seth Nickell <seth@eazel.com> ----- From: Seth Nickell <seth@eazel.com> To: branden@debian.org Subject: GLU vs accelerated GL conflicts (XF4.0.1 package problem) Date: Wed, 20 Sep 2000 22:24:38 -0700 Delivered-To: branden@localhost.deadbeast.net Delivered-To: branden@deadbeast.net Message-ID: <39C99B96.46C6B198@eazel.com> X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.73 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.4.0-test8 i686) X-Accept-Language: en There currently exists a functional conflict between libmesag3 (the "standard" Mesa distribution for debian) and xlibmesa3 (as included with your XF4 packages). While xlibmesa3 is necessary to use accelerated rendering, the majority of OpenGL applications require the prescence of libGLU. Unfortunately since libmesag3 and xlibmesa3 are marked as conflicting, I must hand patch every time I do an apt-get (which isn't bad, but not quite preferable). One solution would be to provide a seperate xlibglu package, or something of that nature for people who wish to have them seperate in order to have both. -Seth ----- End forwarded message ----- -- G.
