[minor bug] freeglut should provide glut

Glut installs to /usr/X11R6, so it doesn't do anything on systems using Xorg 7, and the freeglut package replaces it. However, KDE requires glut. It seems to me that freeglut should provide glut for programs that require it, so as to prevent the installation of an extraneous package.

and Gullible, would that not belong on flyspray, and not in the forums?

Sorry, not logged in on Flyspray. It requires real names, and I prefer to remain anonymous.

What the heck, I'll register for Flyspray at some point.

Yeah.... you can alwasy make up a name, although I can see why you would want to be unknown. I actually thought Gullible was your real name.

Either way, there's not much point wasting our time with this stuff here -- the devs don't read the forums, and I doubt most people are bothered enough to repost trivialities.

Okay, sorry... I'll have to create an account on Flyspray.

(No, Gullible definitely is not my real name. )
