That's what I mean by own. As long as those diversions weren't removed,

and the postrm script removes the diversions on both remove and purge.
Aie. Yeah.
That makes a lot of sense, I went back and forth between the packages at
one point.
I wonder if this is in any way related to bug #366910 (which I reported),
either that this explains it, or that my fix made it worse.
And does this mean nvidia-glx-legacy-173xx and nvidia-glx can both be
installed at the same time?
Not yet, but it makes it possible eventually.
(Although, that's probably not useful since the kernel module can't be.)
Yeah, that's still a problem.
I assume no one is current attempting to change this. But is it a goal
for the future, or is it just too much trouble?
(It would be nice, so I can have multiple monitors, since I already have
the card. But then again new low end nvidia cards are not very expensive.)
BTW, thanks for your help (and the packages).
