Source: glx-diversions Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
Dear Maintainer, I am in the process of upgrading my system from mixed (preferring stable) to mixed (preferring unstable), in order to take advantage of recent advances in nouveau. In preparation for this, I removed all packages related to the nvidia binary driver, including glx-diversions. I am not sure which version of glx-diversions caused the problem, as I have been swapping between versions in an attempt to improve graphics performance. Excerpt from aptitude.log is below. When an attempt was made to upgrade libgl1-mesa-glx, it was discovered that the following diversions were in effect, pointing to the nonexistant directory /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/: sudo dpkg-divert --list | grep 'mesa\|glx' ---- diversion of /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libGL.so.1.2 to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libGL.so.1.2 by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libGL.so.1 to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libGL.so.1 by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1.2.0 to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1.2.0 by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libGL.so.1.2.0 to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libGL.so.1.2.0 by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1.2.0 to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1.2.0 by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libGL.so to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libGL.so by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2.0 to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/libGL.so.1.2.0 by glx-diversions ---- Removing these erroneous diversions (using dpkg-divert --remove) then allowed the upgrade of libgl1-mesa-glx to succeed. When installing the nvidia driver, I have used only packages in Debian. I have not, at any time, used nvidia-installer on this system. zcat /var/log/aptitude.1.gz | cat - /var/log/aptitude | grep glx-diversions ---- [INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] glx-diversions:amd64 [REMOVE] glx-diversions:amd64 [INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] glx-diversions:amd64 [REMOVE] glx-diversions:amd64 [INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] glx-diversions:amd64 [UPGRADE] glx-diversions:amd64 0.2.2 -> 0.4.0~bpo70+1 [REMOVE] glx-diversions:amd64 [INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] glx-diversions:amd64 [REMOVE] glx-diversions:amd64 [INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] glx-diversions:amd64 [REINSTALL] glx-diversions:amd64 [DOWNGRADE] glx-diversions:amd64 0.4.1 -> 0.2.2 [REMOVE] glx-diversions:amd64 ---- -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (900, 'testing-updates'), (900, 'stable-updates'), (900, 'unstable'), (900, 'testing'), (900, 'stable'), (500, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.12-1-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
