Oibaf graphics ppa enabled is asking me to remove a lot of my software

[David Shepherd]

By having Oibaf ppa enabled it wants me to remove half of my software. Ubuntu 16.04 x64. I disabled all PPA's and found this one to be the culprit. Disabling I can update my system. With it enabled and I try update my system its conflicting with other software and wants to remove a lot of my programs. Disabled for now and all is ok.

Yes I just loaded on Maui and added this ppa, and it wants to remove most my software also, this includes xorg and all attached, basically 488 packages it wants gone. Not gonna fall for that trap however!

I should add, it does not happen with padoka PPA.

[james riddick (overlord-jarrard)]

Scratch that, padoka ppa didn't fully install. Such a odd issue. Shrug.

[james riddick (overlord-jarrard)]

Ok, solution, if anyone else has this issue just install aptitude and use full resolver like so.

sudo aptitude upgrade --full-resolver

Appears there is some conflict with the i386 drivers I for some reason had installed, and possibly missing LLVM5.0.

[james riddick (overlord-jarrard)]

The solution above doesn't appear to install the drivers right because the desktop has cursor type flicker and steam cannot install its i386 dependencies. Must have been something they changed in mesa recently that broke it all or something. Use to work.

The issue should be fixed now.
Thanks to Sergio C. for the hint!
Please test and report.
