xorg-server mesa-lib

[Jean Bruenn]

little additional note:

I had to remove the mesa-lib dependency (or the xorg-server one) from /var/state/lunar/depends.cache manually - Otherwise the dependency is taken over and over again, even placing the module into zlocal and removing the dependency from the DEPENDS file did not help. And for above problem it doesn't matter if you set glx-tls to yes or to no - xorg-server looks for GL.h ANYWAY - REGARDLESS of what you set glx-tls to.

btw. if you don't know irc address.. it's irc.freenode.net and channel #lunar

Hope these information help.

There's a dependency problem, because xorg-server wants GL.h (if i remember correct) which is provided by mesa-lib, which is not installed, thus lin tries to install mesa-lib first, which fails because xorg-server is not installed, and mesa-lib should be installed after xorg-server. So currently only chance to fix that, is to have them both installed previously.
