Well, yes, you won't be able to upgrade nvidia-glx until after you've
built kernel modules.  That part is intentional.  Is that what you were
running into?

The sequence is to upgrade nvidia-kernel-source, build new kernel modules,
install the new packages, and then upgrade nvidia-glx.

This will all get much simpler with the next upload when we'll start
pushing people towards using DKMS instead.
