Package: nvidia-glx Version: 100.14.19-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
I start by stating that I am not at all sure that this is a bug in "nvidia-glx" - it might even be a bug in "apt". But I feel I have to start here, to get some input to solve the problem. At any rate, the package *does* fail to install. I work on a newly created "sid" debian system, an Intel core 2 duo CPU using i386 (not amd64) distribution. I have successfully built and installed a kernel module package for the correct version of nvidia, kernel and hardware: ii nvidia-kernel-2.6.22-2-686 100.14.19-1 NVIDIA binary kernel module for Linux 2.6.22-2-686 (Incidentally, this particular package has worked with nvidia-glx on another Debian system. So I know it is OK.) Then, when I attempt to install nvidia-glx I get this message: pcndeb:~# apt-get install nvidia-glx Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: kdelibs4c2a: Depends: xbase-clients but it is not going to be installed xserver-xorg-core: Depends: xserver-xorg but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages And now I am completely lost. What have these four packages to do with nvidia-glx, and what is it that apt-get is trying to tell me? Yes, nvidia-glx depends on xserver-xorg-core, but it *is* installed, with proper version, and so are the other three packages mentioned: ii kdelibs4c2a 4:3.5.7.dfsg.1-7 core libraries and binaries for all KDE applications ii xbase-clients 1:7.3+2 miscellaneous X clients - metapackage ii x11-common 1:7.3+2 X Window System (X.Org) infrastructure ii xserver-xorg-core 2:1.4-3 Xorg X server - core server The other packages on which nvidia-glx depends are also installed, with proper versions: ii libc6 2.6.1-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous extension library I am no novice in using "apt-get" and solving dependency problems, but this problem has stopped me cold. I have no clue as for how to proceed. best regards Peder Chr.
