Package: nvidia-kernel-dkms
Version: 450.66-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I tried to install the nvidia-driver. I had done so previously,
but due to package conflicts on a full-upgrade I decided to remove
and reinstall the package.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I removed every package relating to nvidia by issuing the following
command: aptitude purge '~invidia'. I tried to install the package
'nvidia-driver', which in turn depends on 'nvidia-kernel-dkms'. As
the latter failed I also tried installing and reinstalling it
separately, both with and without repeating the aforementioned
purge command first. I also waited for a few days in case a new
fixed version would appear.
* What was the outcome of this action?
It resolved the previous (unrelated?) package conflict, yet it now
leaves the system an nvidia graphics driver.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected the package conflicts to be resolved and to have a working
nvidia graphics driver again.
