Thank you for the clarification. I shortly after realized that the
version of beignet in sid has a strict dependency on a specific
version of llvm. I think the problem on my machine is related to the
fact that there are two packages for llvm 3.5, libllvm3.5v5 and
libllvm3.5. With the former already installed, apt-get does not
consider the removal of libllvm3.5v5 for libllvm3.5 as a viable
solution, and therefore it produces the error I sent in my first
message. I'm not sure if beignet could be build against libllvm3.5v5
or if libllvm3.5v5 can also provide libllvm3.5 (it already has
Replaces: libllvm3.5).

Forcing the installation of libllvm3.5 (and therefore the removal of
libllvm3.5v5) makes it possible to install beignet as you have shown
in your chroot.

Yes, the beignet website recommends llvm3.6 for the new release.

yes. I'm sorry if my wording was ambiguous. This is not a
co-installability problem.
