Bug#1065642: nvidia-driver: Fails to build module due to outdated *nvidia-settings*

[Paul Menzel]

Package: nvidia-driver
Version: 535.104.12-2
Severity: normal


Dear Debian folks,


Upgrading from 525.147.05-1 to 535.104.12-2 with

     apt install -t experimental nvidia-driver`

the DKMS build failed because nvidia-settings was still at 525.147.05-1, 
and a newer version is required. I wonder, why it could be installed in 
the first place, as *nvidia-settings* is listed as a recommends with the 
correct version requirement [1].

> rec: nvidia-settings (>= 535)

Any idea, how this could happen?

I guess I could remove *nvidia-settings* for the time being, so 
installation of the actual Nvidia driver modules succeeds.


Kind regards,

Paul
