[xorg-edgers] When enabling "xorg-edgers fresh X crack" ppa apt get dist-upgrade wants to remove libsdl2, libwayland-egl1-mesa

[matt davis]

Ubuntu 14.04. I have tried to enable "xorg-edgers fresh X crack" ppa for the latest Nvidia proprietary drivers. After apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade the latest mesa 10.2 git packages are pulled in which apparently requires the removal of libwayland-egl1-mesa which libsdl2 depends on. This also means the removal of anything that depends on libsdl2 which in my case are the game console emulators dolphin-emu and pcsxr.

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  dolphin-emu-master libsdl2-2.0-0 libwayland-egl1-mesa libwayland-egl1-mesa:i386 pcsxr pcsxr-spu-sdl
The following packages will be upgraded:
  libdrm-dev libdrm-intel1 libdrm-intel1:i386 libdrm-nouveau2 libdrm-nouveau2:i386 libdrm-radeon1
  libdrm-radeon1:i386 libdrm2 libdrm2:i386 libegl1-mesa libegl1-mesa:i386 libegl1-mesa-dev libegl1-mesa-drivers
  libegl1-mesa-drivers:i386 libgbm1 libgbm1:i386 libgl1-mesa-dev libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1-mesa-dri:i386
  libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libglamor0 libglapi-mesa libglapi-mesa:i386 libgles2-mesa
  libgles2-mesa-dev libopenvg1-mesa libopenvg1-mesa:i386 libosmesa6 libosmesa6:i386 libxatracker2 mesa-common-dev

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty) reached end-of-standard-support on April 25, 2019.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported when using a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
