** Description changed:

+ [Impact] 
+  * Some -dev packages like ubuntu-sdk and libglew-dev cannot be installed when the lts-utopic stack is used.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+  * Install the lts-utopic stack.
+  * apt-get install ubuntu-sdk
+  * Good: you get a whole list of packages to install.
+  * Bad: apt-get install fails like pasted in the original bug report.
+  * Also test the same without the lts-utopic stack, to make sure there are no regressions.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential] 
+  * Low, this has been done for precise before, and mesa packaging has to be updated for every LTS release. Unfortunately there are no alternatives. :(
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+  * There's probably an apt bug in here too. Nudging the resolver by specifying libgl1-mesa-dev-lts-utopic and libgles2-mesa-dev-lts-utopic works, but I didn't find a good way to express this in the depends, and that would have to be done for every package.
+ 
+ [Original bug report]
  Not the first, likely not the last devel to not be installable in 14.04.2 or any mesa-lts-utopic install
  Another one is libglew-dev
