Bug#620327: Package: nvidia-kernel-dkms 260.19.44-1

[Alexandr Bravo]

Package: nvidia-kernel-dkms 260.19.44-1

In testing distribution after last update package nvidia-kernel-dkms
260.19.44-1 produces NVIDIA kernel module with wrong version number inside.
As a result Xorg can't start with nvidia because old kernel module version
195.* mismatches with version 260.* of other packages.

Now looking to modinfo of nvidia.ko kernel module which was just built by
dkms:

# modinfo /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates/dkms/nvidia.ko
filename:       /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/updates/dkms/nvidia.ko
alias:          char-major-195-*
supported:      external
license:        NVIDIA
alias:          pci:v000010DEd00000E00sv*sd*bc04sc80i00*
alias:          pci:v000010DEd00000AA3sv*sd*bc0Bsc40i00*
alias:          pci:v000010DEd*sv*sd*bc03sc02i00*
alias:          pci:v000010DEd*sv*sd*bc03sc00i00*
depends:        i2c-core
vermagic:       2.6.32-5-686 SMP mod_unload modversions 686
...

Looks like this string is not ok:  alias:          char-major-195-*
I guess it should be 260 there.

Best regards,
