Package: xserver-xorg-video-nvidia Version: 280.13-4 Severity: important Hi,
while updating my sid system a few hours ago I noticed something went wrong on reboot. My screen went black and no actions could be taken. I rebooted on safe mode and tweaked a bit my xorg.conf (re-generated it through Xorg -configure), that trick usually made everything working correctly on the next boot. The problem was still there, I logged back on a root shell and noticed there were problems with the 'xserver-xorg-video-nvidia' package. I then went to remove nvidia-kernel-dkms bits and had back my desktop. Trying to manually install the above package takes me to: "The following packages have unmet dependencies: xserver-xorg-video-nvidia : Depends: xorg-video-abi-10 but it's not installable or xorg-video-abi-8 but it's not installable or xorg-video-abi-6.0 but it's not installable E: Damaged Packages" I then went to check which package produced those binary files and the result was: 'xserver-xorg-core'. Packages should never directly depend on virtual packages. Can you please get rid of that and explain me what's going on with the 'xserver-xorg-video-nvidia' package? Thanks in advance, Andrea
