(+Conflicts/Replaces: libopencl1) And there should be a corresponding libopencl1-dev package, too. As that's probably what users need for their OpenCL applications. > Package: ocl-icd-dev > Description: Development files to build a ICD Loader > OpenCL (Open Computing Language) is a multivendor open standard for > general-purpose parallel programming of heterogeneous systems that include > CPUs, GPUs and other processors. > . > This package provides a header file that allows a OpenCL implementation > to build a installable client driver (ICD).
