The fglrx-updates package in the queue addresses the dependencies like so: --- fglrx-installer-updates-9.000/debian/substvars 2012-10-16 15:04:48.000000000 +0000 +++ fglrx-installer-updates-9.000/debian/substvars 2012-11-21 13:48:00.000000000 +0000 @@ -1,2 +1,2 @@ -xviddriver:Depends=xorg-video-abi-11|xorg-video-abi-12|xorg-video-abi-13, xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.10.99.901) +xviddriver:Depends=xorg-video-abi-11|xorg-video-abi-12|xorg-video-abi-13, xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.10.99.901)|xserver-xorg-core-lts-quantal (>= 2:1.10.99.901) xviddriver:Provides=xorg-driver-video
This is ok, but I think it would have been better to drop the versioned dependency on xserver-xorg-core as suggested in the bug report. oneiric's xserver-xorg-core has a Provides of xorg-video-abi-10, so there's no actual risk of a too-old xserver-xorg-core being pulled in together with fglrx; and by hard-coding xserver-xorg-core | xserver- xorg-core-lts-quantal, you ensure that this will have to be updated again for the next enablement stack in 12.04.3. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to jockey in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1080588 Title: jockey suggests not installable packages on renamed stack Status in “fglrx-installer-updates” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-experimental-310” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-updates” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: None of the nvidia and fglrx drivers can be installed through the gui, because they have a versioned depends on xserver-xorg-core. For example: # LANG=C apt-get install nvidia-experimental-304 The following packages have unmet dependencies: nvidia-experimental-304 : Depends: xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.10.99.901) E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Furthermore even some packages are shown that cannot be installed on the renamed x server, because the drivers haven't been updated to work on them. For example nvidia-current: nvidia-current : Depends: xorg-video-abi-11 Depends: xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.10.99.901) E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. nvidia-common needs to be updated to hide versions of nvidia drivers that won't work on x 1.13 or later, and make them installable. I think the xserver-xorg-core version check can be removed, in favor of checking the video abi version. Furthermore drivers should have an alternative dependency on the new xserver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer-updates/+bug/1080588/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
