Summary:                    Can't upgrade Xorg-mesa-devel
Description: 
 I recieve the following error when attempting to upgrade xorg-mesa-devel:
file /usr/include/GL from install of xorg-Mesa-devel-6.8.2-0.20050125.1ark
conflicts with file from package freeglut-devel-2.2.0-2ark

 I had to remove the package from my attempted dist-upgrade before I could
complete it. I have managed to upgrade the rest of the sys, but still
cannot upgrade that package

Sorry...I failed to mention that I'm running the devel tree

This was a prereq chain issue in the old freeglut-devel (freeglut-devel has
to Pre-require and not just require xorg-Mesa-devel; if freeglut-devel is
installed first, /usr/include/GL will be created as a directory rather
than a symlink).

This is fixed in the current version; unfortunately it is unfixable for
old installations (except the way you did -- remove the old packages and
install the new ones).
