uploading 430.xx to sid

[Patrice Duroux]

Hi Andreas,
I have done some progress on this.

I removed all the nvidia packages (even nvidia-installer-cleanup and glx-
alternative) and reboot.

Then I installed bumblebee-nvidia to get the following:

ii  bumblebee-nvidia                       3.2.1-20                             amd64        NVIDIA Optimus support using the proprietary NVIDIA driver

The current (430.xxx) module is loadable by bbswitch:

[  693.119939] bbswitch: enabling discrete graphics

But I have experienced strange troubles going further with the install of
nvidia-driver-libs-nonglvnd. After its installation, the module is not
successfully loadable.

Following apt depends, I found this:

$ LANG=C apt depends nvidia-nonglvnd-vulkan-icd:i386
nvidia-nonglvnd-vulkan-icd:i386
  Depends: nvidia-nonglvnd-vulkan-common:i386
    nvidia-nonglvnd-vulkan-common
  Depends: libvulkan1:i386 (>= 1.0.42)
  Depends: libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386 (= 430.40-2)
  Depends: libnvidia-glvkspirv:i386 (= 430.40-2)
  Conflicts: nvidia-vulkan-icd:i386
  Recommends: nvidia-legacy-390xx-driver-libs-nonglvnd:i386
  Suggests: <vulkan-utils:i386>
    vulkan-tools:i386
  Enhances: libvulkan1:i386

where as:
$ LANG=C apt depends nvidia-nonglvnd-vulkan-icd
nvidia-nonglvnd-vulkan-icd
  Depends: nvidia-nonglvnd-vulkan-common
    nvidia-nonglvnd-vulkan-common:i386
  Depends: libvulkan1 (>= 1.0.42)
  Depends: libgl1-nvidia-glx (= 430.40-2)
  Depends: libnvidia-glvkspirv (= 430.40-2)
  Conflicts: nvidia-vulkan-icd
  Recommends: libnvidia-cbl (= 430.40-2)
  Recommends: libnvidia-rtcore (= 430.40-2)
  Suggests: vulkan-utils
    vulkan-tools
  Enhances: libvulkan1

showing a discrepancy between the dependencies between the :amd64 and the :i386.
The fact is that nvidia-driver-libs-nonglvnd:amd64 recommends nvidia-driver-
libs-nonglvnd-i386 that also install the first one.

I am not sure about a nice road to install libgl1-nvidia-glx with pulling any
legacy packages... more to come!


Thanks,
