Package: nvidia-alternative
Version: 340.93-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

after yesterdays updates, todays reboot lead to a system without usable
video setup. After some experiments, it turned out that this was due to
the nouveau driver not being loaded automatically (the binary nvidia
driver is and was never installed).

Removing nvidia-alternative (and the package nvidia-opencl-icd
depending on it) fixed this problem.

I did not explicitly install any nvidia- or opencl-related packages, it
seems they were pulled in recursively by libhwloc.
