Bug#951914: primus: Unusable with newest glx driver

[Celelibi]

Package: primus
Version: 0~20150328-9
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

As stated in bug #888020 primus is currently not compatible with the
GLVND variants of the GLX drivers. As a result, primus was tagged as
breaking libgl1-nvidia-glvnd-glx.

As I understand, nvidia is deprecating the non-GLVND variants [1] and
version 430 is the last of this kind. And as far as I know, in debian,
the latest non-GLVND version available is the 418.74-1 and is in the
stable release. The only other version available in debian testing and
sid is currently the GLVND variant 440.59-1.

Meaning that primus is currently completely unusable with debian testing
and sid.

I would therefore suggest to reevaluate the "breaks:" tags and find a
way to make primus support GLVND. I mean. I think that's the only way.


Best regards,
Celelibi
