[SRU] The attached debdiff backports a single change from nvidia- graphics-drivers 304.51.really.304.43-0ubuntu1 in Quantal to Precise so that packages that Build-Depend on nvidia-current can be built.
[IMPACT] When attempting to build packages that Build-Depends on nvidia-current for Precise, the build servers are unable to install nvidia-current and the build fails. [Test Cases] Upload any source package that Build-Depends on nvidia-current; e.g. nvidia-cuda-toolkit, starpu-contrib or viennacl, to the PPA builders targeted for Precise. [Regression Potential] Minimal: the change only affects the installation of the nvidia-current and none of the packages that Build-Depend on it can currently build. ** Patch added: "SRU nvidia-graphics-drivers_295.40-0ubuntu1.3 precise" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/nvidia-cuda-toolkit/+bug/950963/+attachment/3539824/+files/nvidia-graphics-drivers_295.40-0ubuntu1.3-precise.debdiff ** Description changed: + [SRU] Please consider the patch in comment #12 for a Stable Release + Update. + Ubuntu 12.04 nvidia-graphics-drivers 295.20-0ubuntu1 In Ubuntu, nvidia-graphics-drivers package provides only nvidia-current and nvidia-current-dev, while the Debian's package provides many separated deb packages as follows: libcuda1 libcuda1-dev libcuda1-ia32 libgl1-nvidia-alternatives libgl1-nvidia-alternatives-ia32 libgl1-nvidia-glx libgl1-nvidia-glx-ia32 libglx-nvidia-alternatives libnvidia-compiler libnvidia-compiler-ia32 libnvidia-compiler1 libnvidia-compiler1-ia32 nvidia-glx nvidia-glx-dev nvidia-glx-ia32 nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-kernel-source nvidia-libopencl1 nvidia-libopencl1-dev nvidia-libopencl1-ia32 nvidia-libvdpau-dev nvidia-libvdpau1 nvidia-libvdpau1-ia32 nvidia-opencl-common nvidia-opencl-icd nvidia-opencl-icd-ia32 nvidia-smi nvidia-vdpau-driver nvidia-vdpau-driver-ia32 So, some packages imported from Debian cannot be built or not installable unless their dependencies are modified. For example, nvidia-cuda-toolkit is failed to build because of missing libcuda1. See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-cuda- toolkit/4.0.17-3/+build/3079987 . I think the separate packages should be provided as in Debian and nvidia-current and nvidia-current-dev should be changed to meta packages which depend on those separate packages. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/950963 Title: some packages fail to build because of missing libcuda1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-cuda-toolkit/+bug/950963/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
