Bug#969948: [debian buster] [xbase-clients] The following packages have unmet dependencies:

[Jean-Marc LACROIX]

Julien,

Indeed, it  is not possible to install  this package, because  I put a
rule of  no  installation in  the  APT preference file  following dark
stories of Nvidia drivers ...
After                            deleting                          the
/etc/apt/preferences.d/preferences_debian_v_10_buster_no_driver_nouveau_but_driver_nvidia.pref
file, everything is OK:


ansible@vm-buster-amd64-190:~$ dpkg -l |grep xbase-client
ii  xbase-clients                        1:7.7+19 
all          miscellaneous X clients - metapackage
ansible@vm-buster-amd64-190:~$ cat /etc/debian_version
10.5
ansible@vm-buster-amd64-190:~$

Sorry for the inconvenience, please close this bug

That is not the version of xbase-clients in any Debian release as far as
I can tell.

Severity: grave

Dear maintainers,

It seems there is a dependancy issue (?) when trying to install
xbase-clients Debian buster 10.5 package.

The installation in done on one LXC container running with sysvinit,
and without droping any Posix 1003.2 capabilities.

ansible@vm-buster-amd64-190:~$ sudo apt install xbase-clients
[...]
  xbase-clients : Depends: x11-utils but it is not going to be installed

ansible@vm-buster-amd64-190:~$ sudo apt install libglx-mesa0
[...]
  libglx-mesa0 : Depends: libgl1-mesa-dri but it is not going to be 
installed

The above said libgl1-mesa-dri, not libglx-mesa-dri.

Cheers,
