** Description changed: The nvidia-cuda-toolkit package needs to depend on a minimum version of the CUDA library included in nvidia-graphics-drivers. The current Debian version of nvidia-cuda-toolkit (5.0.35-4) does this on Debian systems by checking the version of libcuda1 and on Ubuntu systems by checking the version of nvidia-current, nvidia-curent-updates, nvidia-experimental-304 or nvidia-experimental-310. - It would greatly simplify maintenance of nvidia-cuda-toolkit if nvidia- - graphics-drivers provided a versioned 'libcuda1' transitional package as - well an 'nvidia-libopencl1' virtual package. + It would greatly simplify maintenance of packages building against + libcuda.so.1 and libOpenCL.so.1 if the nvidia-graphics drivers could + provide virtual packages that reflect the API level, for example, + libcuda-5.0-1 and libopencl-1.2-1. + + Packages could then build-depend on these virtual packages and use + shlibs.local to override the dependencies on libcuda.so.1 and + libOpenCL.so.1 with libcuda-5.0-1 and libopencl-1.2-1 respectively, + allowing packages to be installed with any compatible version of the + nvidia-graphics-drivers, not only the version they were built against.
