Bug#722258: glx-diversions fails libGL.so.1 -> /etc/alternatives

[JS]

Vincent,

You're right, thank you for pointing this out. I've checked that glx-diversions_0.4.0 does include a libGL.so.1.2.0
as one of the arguments to validate_diverted_symlink and so will not have this problem.

I was not able to use this version of glx-diversions as I've kept my version of the nvidia drivers pinned to 304.64-4.

This bug should be closed as a duplicate that has already been fixed in the latest version.
 
thanks again,
Jack

This sounds like bug #712304 to me, which was fixed as of glx-diversions 0.4.0.
