Bug#671086: libgl1-mesa-glx: Cannot install both libgl1-mesa-swx11 and libgl1-mesa-glx
reopen 671086
thanks
Hi,
Short of an explanation, it would be an offense to the open spririt of
Debian to let this bug closed.
If we all close bugs saying they are not bugs without explaning why, I
can only imagine the poor level of quality we'll achieve.
Regards.
Sylvain
