i have both XOrg and the module NVIDIA installed... now this is getting slightly annoying...
I had to turn of "autofix" after a "lunar update" because of this...
Seems like the module NVIDIA is overwriting some files from XOrg and consequentely when you execute "lunar fix" it starts recompiling XOrg... after recompiling XOrg it recompiles freetype2, cairo, pango, gtk+-2 etc etc and finally NVIDIA ... so we're back where we started... Rolling Eyes
any way to fix this in either the XOrg or the NVIDIA module? Moe told me about a possible "NO_FIX" statement in the modules?
I have tried "lunar hold XOrg", as tchan suggested, but that didn't help. It's still recompiling XOrg.
Don't tell me i should stop using the NVIDIA module. That's not a sollution. I need both the xinerama and the opengl support in that driver for my simulations.
Of course i could just stop executing "lunar fix" but then i run into problems sooner or later like i experienced yesterday and today... had to do a "lrm --purge XOrg" and a complete recompile of all my modules... (must be honest i had problems with heimdal as well Wink )
Code:

root@host ~ # lunar nofix
/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.a of XOrg is missing.
/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 of XOrg is missing.
/usr/X11R6/lib/libMesaGL.so of XOrg is missing.
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a of XOrg is missing.
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.a of XOrg is missing.

Here's some code from the fix part:
Code:

        if module_installed $MODULE && ! module_held $MODULE; then


I have just tested this and it does _not_ recompile a held module, even if it is broken. Are you sure you tried it?
