Hi,

I am running debian-sarge on a P4 with an ATI graphics board ATI provides
drivers as rpm-packages for.
I converted the rpm-package into a deb package and could install it saying
dpkg --install --force-overwrite fglrx_4_3_0-9.8.25-1.i386.deb
the overwrite flag is necessary because
/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2
from xlibmesa-gl is replaced by this packages.

However, updating of any packages now gets stuck (using either dselect or
apt-get upgrade) because xlibmesa-gl is prevented from overwriting
library.

Is there a way to tell the system that libGL.so may be provided by either
packages and should simply be ignored? So far I resolved the problem by
deinstalling fglrx
upgrading the system
reinstalling fglrx with --force-overwrite
but that seems very awkward.

Cheers to any help,

Tim

Hi Tim,

this is as example of using dpkg-divert:
-------------------------------
dpkg-divert --package dpkg --add --local --rename --divert
/usr/bin/dpkg.real /usr/bin/dpkg
-------------------------------
In this case, I want to move /usr/bin/dpkg to /usr/bin/dpkg.real
and to have any future /usr/bin/dpkg to be written to
/usr/bin/dpkg.real.
This may be used for /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2. But I dont know if it
should be set for fglfx or xlibmesa-gl.
Cheers,
-Kev
