The wine package lives in the universe repository, and this excludes it from the essential and core packages (that usually live in main or restricted). The graphics driver provides core functionalities, wine does not. The bug priority is right. It was/is too late to fix this bug report for fglrx in 14.10, which also depended on LP: #1382086 and LP: #1382091 (both fixed only a few hours ago). I'll have to fix this in 15.04 (the next development release) first, only then will it be reasonable to backport the fix. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-313-updates in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1129409 Title: Nvidia and AMD graphics drivers should indicate whether they provide libcuda.so.1, libOpenCL.so.1, etc. To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boinc/+bug/1129409/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
