Package: libgl1-mesa-dri
Version: 6.5.1-1
Severity: important
This code is dead. Mesa upstream removed this a long time ago. I believe dri_client is now the libdrm library
which we should be using. I have built Mesa without the patch and it works fine.
Please consider removing this dead code.
Note: The Mesa im using is that build using the Mesa 6.5.0 debian/* files.
