Lots of people will likely inadvertently be hit by this
unfortunately. My suggestion to everyone, is to uninstall the
XFree86-Mesa-libGL package using:
rpm -e --nodeps XFree86-Mesa-libGL
As long as you know you're installing another rpm which provides
libGL itself, then all rpm dependancies will be met properly and
the --nodeps above is harmless. However if one installs outside
of rpm context, such as from raw sources, then the system will
have unmet rpm dependancies on libGL.so.1 and will complain about
it. 2 solutions to that are:
1) Make sure any alternative libGL being installed is in rpm
format
or
2) Create a dummy rpm called "fake-libGL-provide" which contains
no files, but which has lines like: "Provides: libGL.so.1"
By doing either of these, ensures rpm is happy, and that there
shouldn't be any libGL conflicts. I made Mesa-libGL a separate
subpackage to make replacing libGL easier for people to do.
Hope this helps people to avoid such libGL probs.
