i reread the original bug report. the submitter suggested that nvidia-kernel-legacy-71xx-source and nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-source should not conflict, which does make sense.
the problem i had was with the nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-2.6.18-4-686 and nvidia-kernel-legacy-71xx-2.6.18-4-686 packages. these packages should definitely conflict. mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
