I'm afraid this really can't be done without preventing co-installation of libgl1-mesa-dev and nvidia-glx. libgl1-mesa-dev depends on libgl1-mesa-glx, which in turn conflicts with libgl1 since it also provides it. Given that most Debian users are probably going to prefer building against the free libraries rather than the non-free libraries, I don't think preventing installation of libgl1-mesa-dev is a good idea. Having the other libraries installed is a minor issue and shouldn't cause any problems other than consuming some disk space. I suppose this is something that we could reconsider at some point, since a conflict would certainly be easier to deal with than the diversions, but I suspect that having nvidia-glx installed to support a video card that doesn't otherwise work but libgl1-mesa-dev installed for building software is a fairly common configuration. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
