What I never understood is that nvidia-driver fakes dep on libGL, only to replace it. Is the rationale for that, that it eases the pain for the end user when uninstalling nvidia-driver, by still having a libGL around? Or is libGL needed for the opengl headers? I think things are a lot less complicated if nvidia-driver is one of the choices for libGL and that if one wants to stop using it, one does: portmaster -o graphics/libGL nvidia-driver-\* -- Mel
