[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #46675] failing test __osmesa_print__.cc-tst

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #46675 (project octave):

And I can confirm that the Ubuntu package version 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.5 causes
this error.

Downgrading all *mesa* packages to version 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.4 allows the test
work again.

I do not know much about osmesa at all, but this packaging change is what is
introducing this error. The packaging change made was "Build osmesa separately
and without using shared glapi again. (LP: #1424059)" Translation is that
osmesa is built with its own embedded copy of libGL instead of sharing the
system libGL, which Octave also links to.

The bug report referenced in the change message is here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+source/mesa/+bug/1424059

I participated in some of the discussions and testing about this change, so I
know what the intent was, but this fix does not seem to be helping Octave.
