[Bug?] xorg dependencies make installation of libgl1-mesa-swx11 impossible
Hi!
This looks like a bug, but I'm not sure about it, so before reporting
it, I want to ask about it here:
I'm using Etch on a box with a Matrox G450. As running glxgears using
libgl1-mesa-dri crashed my box a while ago (only Alt-SysRq-... worked),
I wanted to install libgl1-mesa-swx11 again.
But with xorg 1:7.0.22, I cannot install "libgl1-mesa-swx11" (see
transcript at the end of this mail).
xorg depends on libgl1-mesa-glx, which provides "libgl1" and thus
conflicts with libgl1-mesa-swx11, which also provides "libgl1".
Is this a bug, or did I miss something? Should xorg only depend on
"libgl1", or shouldn't libgl1-mesa-dri and -swx11 provide "libgl1"?
If it's a bug, should I use reportbug to report it officially?
Best regards
