Package: apt Version: 0.6.45 Followup-For: Bug #122304
Hi, reading through the bug thread, I've understood the problem description but I think the bug catches in ever simpler cases, as I get the following phenomena: # apt-get -s install nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-2.6.16-2-k7 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done The following extra packages will be installed: nvidia-kernel-2.6.16-2-486 nvidia-kernel-common Suggested packages: nvidia-settings nvidia-kernel-source Recommended packages: linux-image-2.6.16-2-486 The following NEW packages will be installed nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-2.6.16-2-486 nvidia-kernel-2.6.16-2-k7 nvidia-kernel-common 0 upgraded, 4 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [...] # apt-get -s install nvidia-kernel-2.6.16-2-k7 nvidia-glx Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done The following extra packages will be installed: nvidia-kernel-common Suggested packages: nvidia-settings nvidia-kernel-source The following NEW packages will be installed nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-2.6.16-2-k7 nvidia-kernel-common 0 upgraded, 3 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [...] The reason being that nvidia-glx is dependent on nvidia-kernel-1.0.8762, provided by the whole nvidia-kernel-2.6.16-2-* family. As I'm not sure to understand exactly the scope of the patch, I just wanted to be sure that this usecase is covered as well.
