Currently, nvidia-current fails to install without its recommended dependency nvidia-settings. + + [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. + Original bug description: 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.
