[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#534957: Unstable nvidia-glx not installable

[Daniel Bolton]

Package: nvidia-glx
Version: 185.18.14-1
Severity: important


When attempting to install nvidia-glx unstable, apt warned me as follows:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:                 
  nvidia-glx: Depends: nvidia-kernel-185.18.14 which is a virtual package.

Please note that this was after I had installed version 185.18.14-1 of nvidia-kernel-source from unstable and nvidia-kernel-common from unstable.

All solutions offered by aptitude involved downgrading the nvidia packages to "testing". So, as the title states, it was not possible to install this package, nvidia-glx, in unstable.
