Are x11-server/x11-server and x11/nvidia-driver together incompatible
with portmaster?
If you install x11-server/xorg-server, and then install
x11/nvidia-driver, then "pkg_delete -f" and reinstall xorg-server, then
it seems to me that x11/nvidia-driver will be broken, because
xorg-server will overwrite lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libgl.*, and
nvidia-driver also writes these files.
I know that x11/nvidia-driver restores the libgl.* files when it is
deinstalled. But it is portmaster's use of "pkg_delete -f" that
concerns me.
Thanks, Stephen
