I wonder how you managed to get both packages installed at the same time ever. They've always conflicted in their diversions, and I would have expected one or the other to have failed to install. I don't understand how nvidia-glx managed to take over the diversions while leaving nvidia-glx-legacy-173xx in a state where it still thought it owned the diversions. Thankfully, this is one of the problems that will be entirely fixed going forward, with the new shared diversion handling packages. > A new version of nvidia-glx-legacy-173xx will not help me, I'm not sure that's true. > how do I purge the package? Should I manually edit the postrm script? That's what I'd do. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
