The changes from the last version are: - Translation updates - Trivial fix for a UI layout problem - Correction to the documentation - Backport support for apt 0.6 (disabled by default) None of these should in any way affect how dependencies are resolved, so I think we need to look elsewhere for the problem. On the other hand, there *has* been a new nvidia-glx release in the last few weeks, and that could have triggered something. > I have proprietary nvidia drivers compiled as module, but nevertheless > aptitude wants to install me a kernel-image: > > # aptitude -vD dist-upgrade > Reading Package Lists...

Were more packages being installed or upgraded? I think that it should be upgrading nvidia-glx, for instance. > As you can see, it does so because nvidia-glx depends on > "nvidia-kernel-1.0.7174": Unfortunately, those markers are not always accurate. I'd go as far as to say that sometimes they're downright misleading. As you point out below, this can't possibly be correct. I think I'll need more information to figure out what's happening. Could you tell me, for starters: - what "apt-cache showpkg nvidia-kernel-2.4.27-2-386" and "apt-cache showpkg nvidia-kernel-1.0.7174" print - what "apt-cache showpkg nvidia-glx" prints - If you go into aptitude (visual mode) and press "U" (capital "u"), are packages broken?
