<body><div>Hi,<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>If I'm asking in the wrong place, please tell me where to go :-)<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I'm running Stretch with a few things from backports only when needed.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>My new laptop laptop has Nvidia so I am trying to install the drivers so I can use bbswitch.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Two of the dependencies are libglx-mesa0 and glx-diversions.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Per this bug report <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=903929">https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=903929</a> they are flagged to be incompatible. i.e. "libglx-mesa0 : Breaks: glx-diversions (< 0.8.4~) but 0.8.3~deb9u1 is to be installed"<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>No problem, I figure I can just install glx-diversions from stretch-backports, however when I try that apt-get wants to remove 210 packages. I will copy the whole text from apt-get at the end my message.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Do you have any suggestions on how to workaround this problem?<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Thanks much!!<br></div>

<div>[Whole messy apt-get stuff follows]<br></div>
