Package: libgl1-mesa-glx
Version: 7.11.2-1
Severity: important

Hi,

I used to install both the software and the DRI implementation of Mesa.

This allows to test an application with the DRI implementation by default,
and switch to software implementation, which is particularly useful when
debugging low-level OpenGL code, using:

  LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 ./myapp


Today, both libgl1-mesa-swx11 and libgl1-mesa-glx provide and conflict with
libgl1.  This means I have to remove -glx to install -swx11 and vice-versa.

Can these two libraries be installable in parallel?


Thanks!
Sylvain

You made a claim that the non-co-installability of multiple libGL
variants was a regression.  That claim is not true.  You made a claim
that you can't use the software rasterizer with LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE as
a result of this bug.  That claim is not true, LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE has
always been exclusively used by libgl1-mesa-glx.  I'm not sure what more
you need explained.

If you keep reopening without substantiating your claims I'll have to
ask the BTS owners to act, because as much as I like wasting my time I
have better things to do.

Cheers,
Julien
