Hi developers,

I received a bunch of "missing dependency" mails from part of my 
307/x86_64 systems today when they should have appled the latest update 
to XFree86 & friends.

The complaint from yum was that "Package XFree86-libs needs libGL.so.1, 
this is not available."

Indeed:

# rpm -q --whatprovides libGL.so.1
no package provides libGL.so.1
# rpm -q --whatrequires libGL.so.1
XFree86-libs-4.3.0-98.EL.i386

Hmm, I swear I haven't installed it with --nodeps... wonder how it could 
ever get onto the disk. This only affected systems initially installed 
with 3.0.7. Systems installed with 3.0.5 in the first place have no 
problem:

# rpm -q --whatprovides libGL.so.1
XFree86-Mesa-libGL-4.3.0-97.EL.i386

Looks like XFree86-Mesa-libGL.i386 was part of the initial release of
305/x86_64, and two rounds of errata, but then got dropped, and it's 
missing from the 3rd round of 305 errata (not causing dependency problems 
because the older versions are available) and both the 307 release and the 
307 errata.

Cheers,
	Stephan
