Package: nvidia-graphics-modules-i386,nvidia-graphics-legacy-modules-i386 Severity: normal
The packages containing nvidia kernel modules recommend their associated stock kernel packages. This is in contrast with other out of tree kernel module packages usually depending on the kernel packages. There is an inconsistency with other packages which IMO should be fixed by making the nvidia kernel modules depend on their associated stock kernel packages. The nvidia-graphics-modules-i386 package (and the legacy package) also looks inconsistent with itself by having the module metapackages depending on the stock kernel metapackages. However, this situation may have happened on purpose and be a compromise between not depending on the stock kernels and keeping people with custom kernels ABI-compatible with their corresponding stock kernels from using the prebuilt modules. That would mean users would be recommended to install nvidia-kernel-2.6-subarch, but those not using stock kernels could install just the package containing the module. That is still a bit unclean so I think the nvidia packages should use the same dependencies as the spca5xx ones unless a consensus is reached with other out of tree kernel modules maintainers that there is a better solution. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686 Locale: LANG=fr_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
