Recently I put a new (ATI Radeon 9200) in my computer. I also installed the binary ati
utilities(non-debian.) Before doing that I did a removal of the debian nvidia
packages, but apparently failed to remove nvidia-glx. My XFRee log tells me that it
can not load the glx module. I did a dpkg --list and found that I have forgotten to
remove a (no longer used) nvidia-kernel and the nvidia-glx package. Attempts to remove
it result in:
Removing nvidia-glx ...
dpkg-divert: rename involves overwriting `/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1' with
different file `/usr/share/nvidia-glx/diversions-X11R6/libGL.so.1', not allowed
dpkg: error processing nvidia-glx (--remove):
subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
nvidia-glx
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I'm at a loss about how to proceed further. The only solution I can think of is to
remove X entirely, and then to reinstall. but
that will result in eliminating a large number of packages whic depend in X, and my
connection is extremely slow. Any help would
be greatly appreciated. TIA,
Roberto.
