[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#536293: nvidia-glx: shlibs file has obsolete package xlibmesa-gl as a dependency

[Andres Mejia]

Package: nvidia-glx
Version: 185.18.14-1
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Justification: Policy 2.2

For any package that pulls in library dependencies from nvidia-glx.shlibs, the
resulting dependency would be 'xlibmesa-gl | libgl1'. This produces lintian
error 'E: <package>: depends-on-obsolete-package depends: xlibmesa-gl' for the
corresponding package. xlibmesa-gl is bound to be removed soon, since it was a
transition package for Debian etch.

Instead the resulting dependency should be 'libgl1-mesa-glx | libgl1' like from
the main libgl library.

The 'nvidia-glx.shlibs' file should be written like this

libGL     1 libgl1-mesa-glx | libgl1
libGLcore 1 libgl1-mesa-glx | libgl1
libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic 1 nvidia-glx
libnvidia-tls 1 nvidia-glx
