Bug#906903: nvidia-driver: broken(?) dependencies
On a system where I have been successfully mixing stable & backports I hit the same dependency problem. So I think this is a recent change. I tried to dig a bit further to see if I could flush out the cause. TL;DR libegl1-glvnd-nvidia, which I previously installed from backports, is only in stable and not (any longer) in stretch-backports. Does this imply the dependencies of the backported nvidia-egl-icd need to be tweaked (drop libegl1-glvnd-nvidia)? Gory details: # apt -t stretch-backports install nvidia-egl-icd 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. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: nvidia-egl-icd : Depends: libegl1 (>= 0.2.999) but it is not going to be installed or libegl1-glvnd-nvidia but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. # apt-cache show nvidia-egl-icd | grep Depend | sed -e 's/, /\n/g' Depends: nvidia-egl-common libegl1 (>= 0.2.999) | libegl1-glvnd-nvidia libegl-nvidia0 (= 390.77-1~bpo9+1) Depends: nvidia-egl-common libegl1xxx (>= 0.2.999) | libegl1-glvnd-nvidia libegl-nvidia0 (= 390.48-2~bpo9+3) Depends: nvidia-egl-common libegl1 (>= 0.2.999) | libegl1-glvnd-nvidia libegl-nvidia0 (= 384.130-1) # dpkg -l libegl1 libegl-nvidia0 Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-==---= ii libegl-nvidia0:amd64 390.48-2~bpo9+3 amd64NVIDIA binary EGL library un libegl1 (no description available) # dpkg -l libegl1xxx libegl1-glvnd-nvidia Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-==---= ii libegl1-glvnd-nvidia:a 390.48-2~bpo9+3 amd64Vendor neutral GL dispatch library -- libEGL un libegl1xxx (no description available) So as a starting point I have libegl1-glvnd-nvidia installed, instead of libegl1xxx or libegl1 (neither of which were ever installed). It seems that for some reason apt now wants libegl1 in preference to libegl1-glvnd-nvidia, despite the latter being the latest version. The preferences scoring comes out like this: # apt-cache policy libegl1 libegl1: Installed: (none) Candidate: 1.0.0+git20180308-2~bpo9+1 Version table: 1.0.0+git20180308-2~bpo9+1 200 200 http://debian-archive.atnf.csiro.au:/debian stretch-backports/main amd64 Packages # apt-cache policy libegl1-glvnd-nvidia libegl1-glvnd-nvidia: Installed: 390.48-2~bpo9+3 Candidate: 390.48-2~bpo9+3 Version table: *** 390.48-2~bpo9+3 100 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 384.130-1 990 990 http://debian-archive.atnf.csiro.au:/debian stretch/non-free amd64 Packages So it looks like libegl1-glvnd-nvidia has been removed from the backports suite?

Because I suspect something on your system is causing some packages to be picked from backports and some from stable. That's what's breaking. So try and remove any custom configuration you have for apt and then it should work. -- Kind regards, Luca Boccassi signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I tried to dig deeper into the source of the conflict.
The crude script below tries to pull out any conflicts
that the recursive dependencies of nvidia-egl-icd have
and looks for overlap with the dependencies of vlc.
It suggests that some variant of libegl1 is the issue,
but it's unclear why.
The results it gives are confused by apt-cache displaying
both the backports and stable versions of each package.
The other clue I have to offer is that a simulated install of
nvidia-egl-icd removes vlc and vlc-plugin-video-output, so I
assume some dependency of the latter is the cause.
It wants libegl1-mesa | libegl1-x11. libegl1-mesa is installed,
libegl1-x11 is a virtual package which libegl1-mesa Provides:.
