Comment 1 Alex Yacoub 2002-11-15 14:08:46 EST

Sorry about that.  Here's the real bug:

In the spec file to glut, there is a line
Requires:      /usr/lib/libGL.so.1

The problem is that the FindRequires script of rpmbuild automatically discovers
what the requires are, and this line is unneeded.  libGL.so.1 is a symlink, and
many packages provide the library, but not that actual file (which ldconfig
creates).

Having this line in the spec file prevents uninstalling the XFree86-Mesa-libGL
package and installing another package that provides the library, such as
NVIDIA's package.

The solution is to remove that line from the spec file.  It does not cause any
problems as running rpm -q --requires glut shows libGL.so.1 as one of the lines,
instead of /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.

I hope that made sense....

Fixed in 3.7-9 in rawhide (I think)
