[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#596731: Tries to remove kernel when upgrading to unstable version

[Manuel Bilderbeek]

Package: nvidia-kernel-dkms
Version: 195.36.31-3
Severity: normal

OK, never mind. It seems I wasn't running those *trunk* kernels at all.
I could simply remove them and upgrade to the latest drivers without
problems.

Thanks for keeping up the great work! :)
