Umm ... this version doesn't exist.  The latest Debian version is
1.4.1-1.  Please check where you got the package from.

The package libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev provides and conflicts
with libgl-dev.

On the other hand, libsoqt-dev depends on xlibmesa-gl-dev which
depends on libgl1-mesa-dev which, in turn, provides and conflicts with
libgl-dev.  

Therein lies the conflict.

Thanks for that.  I'm creating a new upload of coin2 with
libcoin40-dev depending on libgl1-mesa-dev | libgl-dev as you suggest.

OK.  Once libcoin40-dev properly depends on OpenGL, I will fix up the
depends of soqt and then close this bug.
