an update to testing broke my nvidia driver (from nvidia-installer)
Hi I upgraded today from sarge to testing and all went well! But I found afterwards my graphics a bit slow and then I decided to reinstall the last nvidia driver from the source as I do usually. It refused to build! telling that the kernel-headers package has not been found! So I must admit that I run my own kernel (2.6.12.3 compiled the debian way under sarge). Could the fact that this kernel has been build under sarge responsible for the impossibility of building the nvidia driver? or what can be the matter and how can I solve that issue??

I don't think the kernel build process has changed that much yet. Try this: apt-get (or aptitude) install module-assistant nvidia-glx m-a prepare m-a a-i -k /usr/src/your-kernel-source nvidia-kernel

BTW I solved this issue by rebuilding a kernel! this time it installed without any problem.
