[Oneiric] Latest mesa (7.10.3) breaks 3D with nvidia-current

The multiarch work in the mesa 7.10.3-0ubuntu1 package breaks the binary drivers until they're updated to match it. Because of this, mesa declares a Breaks: on nvidia-current, nvidia-173, and fglrx which should have prevented apt from updating mesa (or at least cause apt to remove nvidia-current first).

Did apt not remove nvidia-current for you on update?

I also did the update - nvidia-current (275.09.07-0ubuntu1) was not removed though all 3d support was lost - GS and unity 3d

Chris,

No, apt did not remove anything nor did suggest it.
I did the upgrade with synaptic, so nothing wrong about that (no errors).
There was only the notification to upgrade xorg-server to the version 1.10.2 first, which is a new dependency.

But as I mentioned, I downgraded the mesa back to 7.10.2 and all is OK now.
I may try later today the mesa 7.11.0 tree and libdrm 2.4.26 tree from Xorg-edgers PPA.

One more note.
The package libgl1-mesa-glx 7.10.3-0ubuntu1 breaks:
fglrx (<= 2:8.850-0ubuntu1)
nvidia-173 (<= 173.14.30-0ubuntu2)
nvidia-current (<= 270.41.19-0ubuntu1)

However, as I said above, I use nvidia-current_275.09.07, which is the latest stable in Oneiric official repos.
Thus the installation (apt) should not even have broken anything.

Harry, could you run the command, 'apport-collect 798007', which will add some logs and files to this bug report? Thanks for raising the issue.

Aaah, I see Alberto made a sneaky nvidia-current upload last night without applying my multiarching patch. I'll update the Breaks to be unversioned, and we can version them once we have fixed proprietary driver packages.

Bryce,
I am sorry but I do not have apport installed.
I am using a very minimalistic setup.

There is another bug report on this very same issue:
Bug #798049

Yes, sorry Chris. I'll work on multiarch nvidia and fglrx soon so that we can remove the Breaks.

This bug was fixed in the package mesa - 7.10.3-0ubuntu2

---------------
mesa (7.10.3-0ubuntu2) oneiric; urgency=low

  * debian/control:
    - Make the Breaks against the proprietary drivers unversioned. A sneaky
      nvidia-current upload broke my sly attempt at avoiding this work.
      The Breaks: should therefore stay unversioned until we know the version
      of the fixed packages. (LP: #798007)
  * debian/rules:
  * debian/clean:
  * debian/libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental.armel.install.in
    - We don't build i915g on armel as there's no concievable hardware to
      support. Don't try to install it. Fixes the build on armel.

I reopened bug 798049, since it has a patch for nvidia-current.

New nvidia-current drivers appear to have been uploaded in the last few hours, fixing 798049.
