Problem installing nvidia-driver-libs-i386

[fmneto at fmneto.com]

Hey there!

    I guess I brought this on myself then. I always thought keeping older 
sources might be a valid tactic for having a fallback in case thing 
broke in testing/sid. I guess now I realize that might not be the best 
approach.

    Thanks for the replies. I'll try that later on (once I get to my 
machine again).

Cheers,
Francisco
