That was the result of fixing the no_gnome build error earlier, same
package involved. The upstream ticket referenced is
http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/11036 At any rate this should be fixed in
git.

What is strange is that something should require mesa-libGL, then that
should pull in mesa-dri-drivers as a dependency. I'd check that
mesa-libGL is getting installed in the image.
