Source: nvidia-graphics-drivers Version: 304.48-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
the upgrade of the nvidia graphics drivers on wheezy (from version 302.17-3 to 304.48-1) tries to install more than 50 MB of new, unnecessary packages: # aptitude dist-upgrade The following NEW packages will be installed: dkms{a} [2.2.0.3-1.1] <+347 kB> linux-headers-3.2.0-3-686-pae{a} [3.2.23-1] <+9,137 kB> linux-headers-3.2.0-3-common{a} [3.2.23-1] <+17.9 MB> linux-headers-686-pae{a} [3.2+45] <+28.7 kB> linux-kbuild-3.2{a} [3.2.17-1] <+660 kB> nvidia-kernel-dkms{a} [304.48-1] <+27.4 MB> The following packages will be upgraded: libgl1-nvidia-alternatives [302.17-3 -> 304.48-1] <+6,144 B> libgl1-nvidia-glx [302.17-3 -> 304.48-1] <+313 kB> libglx-nvidia-alternatives [302.17-3 -> 304.48-1] <+6,144 B> libnvidia-ml1 [302.17-3 -> 304.48-1] <+135 kB> libxnvctrl0 [302.17-2 -> 304.48-1] <+1,024 B> nvidia-alternative [302.17-3 -> 304.48-1] <+7,168 B> nvidia-glx [302.17-3 -> 304.48-1] <+26.6 kB> nvidia-settings [302.17-2 -> 304.48-1] <+1,024 B> nvidia-smi [302.17-3 -> 304.48-1] <+27.6 kB> nvidia-vdpau-driver [302.17-3 -> 304.48-1] <+67.6 kB> xserver-xorg-video-nvidia [302.17-3 -> 304.48-1] <-195 kB> 11 packages upgraded, 6 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

I guess the problem is that the new nvidia-kernel-amd64 package has not been migrated to wheezy yet: # apt-cache policy nvidia-kernel-amd64 nvidia-kernel-amd64: Installed: 302.17+2 Candidate: 302.17+2 Version table: 304.48+1 0 650 http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ sid/non-free i386 Packages *** 302.17+2 0 750 http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy/non-free i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Please make sure that the nvidia graphics driver packages always get migrated together, not separately.
