Package: nvidia-glx
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 3.5
I don't see how nvidia-glx could be usable without xserver-xorg.
nvidia-glx currently depends on xserver-common and libx11-6, but I don't
think this is enough.
For example, fglrx-driver depends on xserver-xorg.
One problem this creates is that with xserver-xorg's conflict on
nvidia-glx (<= 1.0.7174-4), nvidia-glx can't be installed with
xserver-xorg in testing, and apparently britney didn't notice that
updating xorg-x11 would break nvidia-glx.
Note to the release team: This bug applies to both unstable and testing,
like all other nvidia-graphics-drivers RC bugs (unless 329316 is fixed
in unstable). I don't have any machine running unstable, but I think
that forcing nvidia-graphics-drivers in testing would be better than
keeping the current version. Please consider removal or forcing 8178
even before this bug is fixed.

I based my analysis for this on fglrx-driver, but without too much
surprise, this was an error. Experimental X11R7 packaging shows that
xserver-xorg will depend on video drivers, so at best, perhaps
nvidia-glx should recommend xserver-xorg.
The problem with Etch is gone anyway thanks to vorlon, so I'm closing this.
Sorry for the noise.
