Thanks Andreas I disabled the backports package source and - voila. # apt-get install nvidia-driver Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...

The diff of the installed packages is like so: --- stable.sort 2018-08-23 09:02:51.880118125 +1000 +++ backports.sort 2018-08-23 09:02:51.880118125 +1000 @@ -1,16 +1,25 @@ glx-alternative-mesa glx-alternative-nvidia glx-diversions -libegl1-glvnd-nvidia +libdrm2 +libdrm-common +libegl1 +libegl1-mesa libegl-nvidia0 -libgl1-glvnd-nvidia-glx +libgl1 +libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-nvidia-glvnd-glx -libglvnd0-nvidia -libglx0-glvnd-nvidia +libglapi-mesa +libgles2 +libgles2-mesa +libglvnd0 +libglx0 +libglx-mesa0 libglx-nvidia0 libnvidia-eglcore libnvidia-glcore libnvidia-ml1 +libwayland-egl1-mesa nvidia-alternative nvidia-driver nvidia-driver-bin So even though I have such a large priority difference in favour of stable, apt is somehow preferring libegl1, which comes from backports, over libegl1-glvnd-nvidia. Well nevermind, I guess we will try to figure out some preferences magic to prevent mixing nvidia packages from stable & backports. If you have some suggestions based on your experience, I would welcome them. Otherwise, please close this bug. Kind regards Vince
