Bug#634110: nvidia-glx: Can't install this package under wheezy amd64

[Guillaume Jaouen]

Package: nvidia-glx
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software

Hello,

After an upgrade under wheezy amd64 2.6.39-2 kernel, I wasn't able to compile the nvidia driver requested by my laptop.

Afer making some troubleshouting I saw that some dependencies are broken between nvidia-glx package and libgl1-mesa package.

Due to that bad management of dependencies even if I successfully compile the nvidia module for my new kernel 2.6.39-2 amd64, this one wasn't recognized by my X server during the initialisation of the X server complaining about missing nvidia driver...

lsmod output display the nvidia module driver loaded correctly into the kernel.

In order to get a running X server I need to install your package nvidia-glx.

Thank you for any help.

Best regards,
Guillaume JAOUEN
