What is "old" copy? What did you expect? What did you install? I cannot do much with that level of details. Send me all files matching /var/cache/modass/nvidia*buildlog*`uname -r` please, tar zcvf /tmp/logs.tgz /var/cache/modass/nvidia*buildlog*`uname -r` In some cases m-a tries to guess the outcome of a process and skip it. Use "-f" in that cases. I think I know which problem you mean, does it say: Die zu erstellende Paket-Datei /usr/src/nvidia-kernel-2.6.15.1_1.0.7174-3+2.6.15.1-10.00.Custon_i386.deb existiert bereits, wird nicht neugebaut! ... Version 1.0.7174-3+2.6.15.1-10.00.Custon von nvidia-kernel-2.6.15.1 ist bereits installiert, ?bergehe es. or something like that? > I've had this bug appear on more than one system - I found notes that others > are having the same problem - > > See bug 343186 Same problem? Have you read it? The complaint there is that m-a installs the NEW version instead of the old one that which source has been forced to install by a constructed apt-get call. But that is easy to explain: RTFM, at least: $ m-a -h | grep get get - Quellcode(-Pakete) herunterladen und installieren, evtl. entpacken auto-install - das ganze Verfahren, get & build & install (kurz: a-i) getrennt. So don't use a-i if you don't want the latest source to be installed, use b-i or "build,install". > and > http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.user.german/browse_thread/thread/d5984ef16368b0bb/bfde291b9ebddd40?lnk=st&q=module+assistant+nvidia+update&rnum=1&hl=en#bfde291b9ebddd40 Dunno what you mean. The guy mixed up an old "nvidia installer" installation with Debian package stuff and that needed to be cleaned. The other part was missing RTFM, X config has to be modified manually. For his latest request, I could implement a "deinstall" function, sure. Or just include a "dpkg -r" call into the "purge" function.
