It looks to me by your results that the older package is intact and
that rpm thinks that the only difference during verification is the
particular LibGLU.so.1.3 version.
In other words, The new package is not actually present on the
system, the older package is installed on the system. Both versions
are in the rpm database though. To make upgrading your system easier
whenever X is fixed and a new release comes out, removing the db
entry for the newer version might be needed.
Interesting information about the script breakage. This is surely a
problem.
This surely is a problem. For me too. Anyone figured out how a newby
no-nothing could repair this? I've been trying to figure this out
since Saturday. Do you think X.org will re-issue the update so it
will fix itself if I just do "yum -update xorg-x11*"? Or is it going
to be more complicated?
This would be an ideal solution. Changing your video driver from i810 to
vesa and living with the lesser graphics quality is probably best for
right now, since security is at risk with backdating.
