[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#524078: nvidia-glx tries to drag the wrong amd64 kernel in

[Sheridan Hutchinson]

Package: nvidia-glx
Version: 173.14.09-5
Severity: important

Hello,

I'm using squeeze with the kernel package linux-image-amd64.  This drags 
in linux-image-2.6-amd64, which in turn has installed the package 
linux-image.2.6.26-2-amd64.

During installation of the 2.6.26-2 kernel a couple of days ago I 
noticed it had to remove the nvidia-glx package to get it done.  I 
agreed as I thought I could put it back after the new kernel was in and 
running away nicely.

Unfortunately now whenever I try to install the nvidia-glx package 
synaptic would require that linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64 be installed in 
order for the two nvidia-* packages to be able to install.

Is this intended because I'm back using the VESA driver at the moment?
