How do I extract specific files from .deb package, and not {re}install the whole package?
* problem: I installed my own Nvidia package using their installer (not Ubuntu packages). It drops some GL header files in /usr/include/GL. That's great for me as a developer, but not so great as a package maintainer for others wanting to use my 'libglfw-2.5.0.deb' package (aka - non Nvidia users).
These particular files come from the 'xlibmesa-gl-dev' package, and I do not want to reinstall that whole package (since it will overwrite my /usr/lib/libGL.{a,so} as well).
Suggestions? I just need to restore these header files: /usr/include/{gl.h,glx.h,glext.h,glxext.h}
thx.
