[Bug 1550983] Re: Fails to start with "Couldn't open libGL.so.1" (missing dependency?)

Wed Feb 8 15:07:40 UTC 2017

** Description changed:

- [Impact] 
+ [Impact]
  There are some unlinked calls to libGL.so.1 undetected in the build process because of using libepoxy. Running an application that does not depend on libgl1 (directly or indirectly) may lead to aborting the process with an undefined reference to libGL.so.1.

  [Test Case]
  1. Deploy a server / cloud image of Xenial or Yakkety.
  2. Use a Windows or a Mac client with Cygwin/X and ssh -XY to Ubuntu machine.
  3. sudo apt install firefox; firefox

  Expected result:
  firefox is launched on the client machine.

  Actual result:
  "Couldn't open libGL.so.1" message is printed.

+ Minimal, it is an upstream change already released to zesty.
