Bug Description

[Impact]
 * Installing packages that require opengl dev libraries can cause the renamed stack to be uninstalled.

[Test Case]
 * sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-lts-quantal
 * sudo apt-get install libqt4-opengl-dev
 * Watch the suggested resolution being to go back to the unrenamed xserver, deleting all lts-quantal packages.

[Regression Potential]
 * Low, mostly it ends up being a rebuild of mesa
 * Unrenamed mesa-dev packages will work on the new stack, which is an untested combination, however the relevant packages are backwards compatible, and the abi will not change. The worst that can happen is not finding new opengl extensions.

[Other Info]
  * Important for 12.04.2

Hello Maarten, or anyone else affected,

Accepted mesa into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/8.0.4-0ubuntu0.3 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. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

This bug was fixed in the package mesa - 8.0.4-0ubuntu0.3

---------------
mesa (8.0.4-0ubuntu0.3) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  * Make some -dev packages coinstallable with the renamed stack (LP: #1098215)
    - libgl1-mesa-dev, old opengl headers and symlink should be compatible still.
    - libegl1-mesa-dev, similar story
    - mesa-common-dev, installable unrenamed, but renamed version should be usable
      as well when explicitly requested. This allows the renamed -dev packages to
      keep working.
    - libglu1-mesa-dev, has no replacement in the renamed stack,
      and moved out as a separate package in mesa 9 or later. Not built in the
      renamed stack, so unrenamed version is only option.
    - libosmesa6-dev: no significant changes, and killed from the renamed stack.

  * Explicitly not done:
    - libgles1-mesa-dev, libgles2-mesa-dev, libgbm-dev: have no rdepends afaict.
