Bug Description

libgl1-mesa-glx installs libGL.so.1 and libGL.so.1.2 to /usr/lib/mesa but the link libgl1-mesa-dev installs to /usr/lib is broken

Came up while doing rebuilds of vlc1.1 and 1.0.4 which now fail on -lGL

Removing and creating a new link resolved the vlc builds and allowed vlc to use opengl output
(though I'm not sure what ultimately is intended here
The gl.pc still shows /usr/lib

See it's been fixed in new libgl1-mesa-dev package

I doubt it's fixed as building anything that depends on libgl1-mesa-glx 7.7-0ubuntu3 still fails when looking for libGL.so.

Well yes there still can be an issue when building sources off of.

A series of builds of vlc 1.0.4, vlc 1.1-git and mplayer showed
vlc 1.1 is fine as things stand

Both vlc 1.0.4 and mplayer, while finding the headers, will fail to link to libGL.so

The fix there (as things stand) is to create a new link for the build(s), after which it can be deleted

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/libGL.so

What may continue to be an issue is the update to libglu1-mesa-dev which moved those libs inside of /usr/lib/mesa

for the moment here have reverted libglu1-mesa and libglu1-mesa-dev back so the libs are in /usr/lib

All the builds now work correctly with opengl output

noting that these are make installs, (checkinstalls), not package builds, in a package build of vlc 1.0.4 the libGLU.so issue was irrelevant, libGLU.so isn't linked

As currently set up (updated libgl1-mesa-dev, reverted libglu1-mesa-dev

  * debian/libgl1-mesa-dev.links:
    - Add link to /usr/lib/mesa/libGL.so in /usr/lib so as not to break
      software that build against mesa (LP: #505359).
  * debian/libgl1-mesa-glx.{postinst|prerm}:

I believe this bug is not completely fixed, the versioned libraries should go into /usr/lib as well.

That's not a bug. Ldconfig knows where to find those libraries.
