Actually, it's rather easy to keep this problem-free with a little work by fiddling with the package alien builds from the ATI RPM. Of yourse, an equivs package providing libgl1 would also work. Here's what I did to the packages control file (note the Version field is also changed, but that's not necessary for an equivs package): Version: 4.2.0-3.2.8 Replaces: mesag3, xlibmesa3, xlibmesa3-gl Provides: libgl1, xlibmesa3-gl Conflicts: libgl1 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.0) Killing half of the mesa library packages makes sure the libGL.so is left alone. The only thing bad about the RPM is that each and every file is marked executable and it's some work to change this. -- Got Backup? Jabber: Shadowdancer at jabber.fsinf.de
