libosmesa6 conflicts with libglapi-mesa-lts-*

[Doug McMahon]

[Impact]

libosmesa6 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.3 amd64 can't be installed because it depends on libglapi-mesa (= 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.3), but libglapi-mesa-lts-utopic 10.3.2-0ubuntu1~trusty2 amd64 is '10.3.2-0ubuntu1' not '10.1.3-0ubuntu0.3'.

A possible solution is to include Utopic's libosmesa(-dev) in the LTS enablement stack so versions match.

[Test Case]

>sudo aptitude install libosmesa6
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libglapi-mesa{a} libosmesa6
0 packages upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 1,009 kB of archives. After unpacking 3,682 kB will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 xserver-xorg-lts-utopic : Conflicts: libglapi-mesa (>= 0~) but 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.3 is to be installed.
 libglapi-mesa-lts-utopic : Conflicts: libglapi-mesa but 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.3 is to be installed.

Also check that reverse dependencies install and continue to work such as libosmesa6-dev, desmume, crossover, and wine.

After enabling the Hardware Enablement Stack for Trusty shipped with 14.04.2, I am experiencing the same issue, when trying to install build dependencies for various packages, f.e. vtk using "sudo apt-get build-dep vtk"

[Doug McMahon (mc3man)]

Nobody you wants the full range of devel packages should go anywhere near 14.04.2 or install the lts-utopic mesa packages on a 14.04 or 14.04.1 install
It's just a decent case of fubar
(- another example - freeglut3-dev

[Tholl1989 (mariajcore)]

libosmesa6/trusty-updates 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.3 amd64 can't be installed because it depends on libglapi-mesa (= 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.3), but libglapi-mesa-lts-utopic/trusty-updates,trusty-security 10.3.2-0ubuntu1~trusty2 amd64 is 10.3.2-0ubuntu1 not 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.3.

So utopic's libosmesa6 needs to be backported to match the new libglapi-mesa.

Anyone know of a workaround for this?

[Doug McMahon (mc3man)]

"Anyone know of a workaround for this?"
Do a fresh install using the 14.04.1 image from Ubuntu old-releases.
If needing for some reason a newer mesa then use a ppa like xorg-edgers fresh X crack or oibaf

I just run into this bug. It also is present with vivid version of LTS enablement stack.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

uploaded a new mesa-lts-vivid to

https://launchpad.net/~canonical-x/+archive/ubuntu/x-staging

seems to work for me, please confirm

[wunderwuzzi1975 (wunderwuzzi1975)]

I can confirm that the mesa-lts-vivid Timo uploaded to his PPA (10.5.9-2ubuntu1~trusty3~ppa1) includes the corresponding vivid's libosmesa(-dev) packages. I can now install the dependencies needed to build f. e. vtk without any problems (see answer #3). Great to see that this annoying bug is solved!

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

a bit of background: libosmesa in precise didn't depend on libglapi-mesa which meant it wasn't necessary to provide a renamed one for precise lts stacks..

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

uploaded mesa-lts-vivid for trusty-proposed

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

Hello Doug, or anyone else affected,

Accepted mesa-lts-vivid into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa-lts-vivid/10.5.9-2ubuntu1~trusty3 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done.

[wunderwuzzi1975 (wunderwuzzi1975)]

I enabled trusty-proposed and gave the uploaded mesa-lts-vivid (10.5.9-2ubuntu1~trusty3) a try. I can confirm that the corresponding vivid's libosmesa(-dev) packages are now included and that I am able to install the dependencies needed to build f. e. vtk without any problems (see answers #3 and #11). Great to see that this annoying bug is solved!

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

I'm not sure this is the right way to fix it, since it wouldn't allow packages that depend on libosmesa6 to be installed, because versioned Provides is not supported there... that would need fixing the stock mesa to build libosmesa statically so that it wouldn't depend on libglapi-mesa.

Installed fine in 14.04.3 (using hwe vivid stack), both the lib & -dev packages
Also allowed desmume to install & open

[Leon (leonbo)]

Upgraded to Vivid HWE and enabling the proposed repository fixed the issue for me.

[Doug McMahon (mc3man)]

What are you all doing here??, twice released to trusty-proposed under same name? & then after 2nd verification deleted

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package mesa - 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.5

---------------
mesa (10.1.3-0ubuntu0.5) trusty; urgency=medium

  * Build osmesa separately and without using shared glapi again.
