Title:
nvidia-current doesn't check if /usr/share/applications exists
Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
nvidia-current doesn't check if /usr/share/applications exists. It
runs update-alternatives to set ubuntu-nvidia-settings.desktop, but
this assumes /usr/share/applications already exists. This happens
when to packages that use this path are installed. This happens when
you have empty Ubntu server system or a empty debootstrap chroot.
Error:
Setting up nvidia-current (280.13-0ubuntu6) ...
update-alternatives: using /usr/lib/nvidia-current/ld.so.conf to provide
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/x86_64-linux-gnu_GL.conf (x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf) in auto
mode.
update-alternatives: error: unable to make
/usr/share/applications/ubuntu-nvidia-settings.desktop.dpkg-tmp a symlink to
/etc/alternatives/x86_64-linux-gnu_nvidia_desktop: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing nvidia-current (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
How to reproduce: run apt-get install nvidia-graphics-drivers in an empty
debootstrap chroot.
