The changes from the last version are:
- Translation updates
- Trivial fix for a UI layout problem
- Correction to the documentation
- Backport support for apt 0.6 (disabled by default)
None of these should in any way affect how dependencies are resolved, so I
think we need to look elsewhere for the problem. On the other hand, there
*has* been a new nvidia-glx release in the last few weeks, and that could
have triggered something.

Were more packages being installed or upgraded? I think that it should be
upgrading nvidia-glx, for instance.

Unfortunately, those markers are not always accurate. I'd go as far as to
say that sometimes they're downright misleading. As you point out below,
this can't possibly be correct.
I think I'll need more information to figure out what's happening. Could
you tell me, for starters:
- what "apt-cache showpkg nvidia-kernel-2.4.27-2-386" and
"apt-cache showpkg nvidia-kernel-1.0.7174" print
- what "apt-cache showpkg nvidia-glx" prints
- If you go into aptitude (visual mode) and press "U" (capital "u"), are
packages broken?
