Bug#685054: Bug#688714: libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386 is now co-installable with :amd64 (in sid and experimental)
Dear Andreas Beckmann -- First, I would like to say Thank You for the patch upload to experimental / sid as a workaround solution. Second, I have a question(s) about the package migrating to the testing branch: I was wonder if it will migrate to wheezy at some point during the freeze so that the package is available for the upcoming stable release? And if possible, any time frame? The reason I ask is that it has been more than 10 days and has the package has not migrated. I realize that this is probably due to the current freeze that is in place to prepare for the new Debian stable. Also, according to the QA Package page, http://packages.qa.debian.org/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers.html, the following is stated The package has not yet entered testing even though the 10-day delay is over. Check why. and Not touching package due to block request by freeze (contact debian-release if update is needed). Perhaps the debian-release team needs to be contacted to allow the package, or maybe it just takes longer to test that packages work properly during a freeze. Thanks again. --Michael Carr -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

Thank you. Does this mean that 32bit support has been removed from NVIDIA drivers because of an ongoing transition to multiarch? Do we need to add the i386 architecture to install libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386? I really don't want to enable several architectures because that creates more confusion about what packages of what architecture are installed than anything else, and it creates weird dependency problems. If we install libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386, how do we know which version is going to be used, and how do we make sure that the amd64 version will be used whenever possible? What happens when the bug is fixed, do/can we just remove libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386, and how will we know when we can do that? Can't we just have i386 support as we do now until it finally becomes obsolete (hopefully soon ...)? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
