Indeed, XFree86-Mesa-libGL should be removed with '--nodeps'.
Yes, the
dependency game here is not so nice. I have thought the best way to go
if Mr Harris issued an XFree86 update for Fedora or an application
depended on the lib... Would be to install it again go back to the 'nv'
driver, do what you have todo, remove XFree86-Mesa-libGL again and
re-install the binary 'nvidia' driver once more. A real pain no doubt,
but as clean as least troublesome as it's probably gonna get. :/
What could also be done, is using a virtual package which would provide
libGL.so. How about the rpm created by this spec file :
Name: nvidia-fake-glx
Summary: Fake NVidia package
Version: 1.0
Release: 1
License: GPL
Group: User Interface/X
Source0: %name.README
Buildroot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root
Buildarch: noarch
Provides: libGL.so.1 libGL.so.1.2
%description
Install this package if you used the NVidia installer to install
the drivers on your system
%install
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%_docdir/%name-%version
install -p %{SOURCE0} $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%_docdir/%name-%version/README
%files
%defattr(644,root,root)
%_docdir/%name-%version/README
%changelog

- initial package
Could this be a cleaner solution ?
