Package: nvidia-kernel-common Version: 20051028+1 Severity: minor Hi Randall
Afer reporting #400129, I thought I'd check the legacy packages. >From a clean state, aptitude install nvidia-glx-legacy wants to install kernel-package nvidia-kernel-common nvidia-kernel-legacy-2.6.18-1-486 nvidia-kernel-source The nvidia-kernel-source isn't useful with -glx-legacy. kernel-package and nvidia-kernel-source are both unnecessary iff users can use pre-built kernel module packages from the debian archive. Both are pulled in via nvidia-kernel-common recommending nvidia-kernel-source | nvidia-kernel Nvidia-kernel doesn't seem to exist in sid/etch. Since the -glx packages depend on an appropriate kernel module package, and the kernel module packages all depend on nvidia-kernel-common, I suggest either dropping the recommends completely or changing it to Suggests: nvidia-kernel-source | nvidia-kernel-legacy-source. If you wish to use recommend, a better solution would be to have the -glx packages recommend the appropriate kernel-source packages. I will understand if you decide to defer this until after etch.
