Thank you for the hint. This is correct for normal world updates, but for deep world updates I have a dependency on virtual/opengl, so I have to edit the virtual file, either by changing to the exact version or just by deleting it. Maybe adding the version is somewhat cleaner, but when I want to try a new version, nvidia-glx is added automatically to world and virtuals. I need to edit these files only if it does not work.
