No, that's not the problem: % cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/mesag3-glide2.shlibs libGL 1 libgl1 libGLU 1 libgl1 The package is correctly depending on libgl1 instead of mesag3-glide2. The problem is that linking against the mesag3-glide2 version of libGL.so.1 pulls in libvga.so.1, which causes the package to depend on svgalibg1. This is the behavior that I want to override. -Ben -- Ben Darnell [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://thoughtstream.org
