How to resolve nvidia/mesa conflict - possibly by forcing install without overwrite?












0















As seems to happen periodically, my nvidia drivers are clashing with mesa (I think). This time the symptom is a bit different.

I think I'd like to be able to install this package without overwriting the files - is there a way to force this to happen? Are there other possible solutions?
