Bug#632886: libgl1-mesa-swx11: drop Conflicts: nvidia-glx

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: libgl1-mesa-swx11
Version: 7.10.3-3
Severity: wishlist

Hi KiBi,

libgl1-mesa-swx11 currently has a Conflicts: nvidia-glx entry. While
this is correct it's not nearly sufficient (the nvidia-glx package has
been split and reorganized, there are legacy packages, too, and there is
fglrx as well). With the recent diversions and alternatives changes
regarding multi-arch support, all diversion handling has been
concentrated in the glx-diversions package. All nvidia and fglrx
packages depend on this package (usually indirectly via a longer
dependency chain) and glx-diversions now also has proper conflicts with
libgl1-mesa-swx11 (which is not divertible since the library file name
changes with each new upstream version).
Once multiarch aware nvidia-graphics-drivers and glx-alternatives
packages enter testing, the users will have less possibilities to break
their glx :-)

Therefore I suggest you remove this conflict, so you don't have to track
current and future possible conflictors.

Andreas
