Bug#596898: libgl1-nvidia-alternatives: Updating almost any package breaks dri

[Ingo Kasten]

Package: libgl1-nvidia-alternatives
Severity: normal

That's it!

Indeed running ldconfig at once breaks dri.
After moving libGL.so.1.3 out of the way, reinstalling libgl1-nvidia-
alternatives and then running ldconfig again everything remains fine (and up to
now, my system does not seem to miss libGL.so.1.3 ...)

The problem is solved and the bugreport can be closed.

So I am very sorry for the trouble and thank you very much!

Ingo
