broken symlink to libGL.so

[Quim Nuss]

the link to libGL.so is broken since it is in the upper folder.

[Dave Gilbert (ubuntu-treblig)]

Hi,
  Can you provide some more information please:

1) Exactly which folder is the libGL.so in that is broken?
2) Do you have, or have you previously had installed any of the binary-only graphics drivers (Nvidia or ATI)
3) Which version of Ubuntu do you have?
4) Please provide the output of dpkg -l \*mesa\*

Thanks

Hi,
  Thank you for your answers - do you still have the ATI proprietary driver installed or not?

Dave

[Quim Nuss (pol-monso+tools)]

Yes, indeed.

Hi,
  I don't have the binary drivers myself, but I wouldn't be too surprised if it's related to that.
Anyway, I'll leave this bug to the mesa guys to sort out, now that you have added all the information I can think of.

Is this still an issue in 14.04?
