Bug#677490: Please bind libgl1-mesa-glx and libgl1-mesa-dri more strongly to the same version



Package: mesa
Version: 8.0.3-1
Severity: important

Dear X devs,

would it be possible to somehow bind libgl1-mesa-glx more strongly to recent versions of libgl1-mesa-dri in order to avoid the problems that such partial upgrades cause, e.g. as described in #676942 (see below)?

Currently, libgl1-mesa-dri has "Recommends: libgl1-mesa-dri (>= 7.2)" and "Conflicts: libgl1, libgl1-mesa-dri (<< 6.4.0)". Since versioned Recommends are moot, maybe this should get replaced with "Recommends: libgl1-mesa-dri" and "Conflicts: libgl1, libgl1-mesa-dri (<< 8.0.0)".

Cheers,
Fabian

Not sure, but maybe #673532 is related (although the OR still uses
libgl1-mesa-glx 7.11.2-1, but one does not know the version of his
-dri package).

good tip! After upgrading libgl1-mesa-dri from 7.11.2-1 to 8.0.3-1, the
framerate now seems to be ok again.


Kind regards,
