[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#594416: nvidia-graphics-drivers: Breaking some GL applications linked to mesa

[Christian Weeks]

Package: nvidia-graphics-drivers
Severity: normal

Hi
Found a problem with your diversion setup code. For some reason I had an old
version of libGL.so.1 lying around linked directly to a file outside of dpkg
control (probably last time I ran the installer directly from NVIDIA a few
years ago).

Your update alternatives code looks like it didn't replace this file, and so
suddenly I was getting linkage errors from GL programs.

Once I manually corrected the libGL.so.1 link to /etc/alternatives, it worked
nicely.

Hope this helps
Christian
