Bug description:
[Impact]
* Users of the quantal lts backport stack on precise will not be able to
install nvidia
drivers
* This is because we have not renamed these drivers with the proper changed
package
names in the nvidia drivers
[Test Case]
# LANG=C apt-get install nvidia-experimental-304
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
nvidia-experimental-304 : Depends: xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.10.99.901)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[Regression Potential]
Low. The backports stack is new functionality that is coming in
12.04.2, so changes that affect this will have no impact on earlier
versions of 12.04
[Original Text]
None of the nvidia and fglrx drivers can be installed through the gui,
because they have a versioned depends on xserver-xorg-core.
For example:
# LANG=C apt-get install nvidia-experimental-304
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
nvidia-experimental-304 : Depends: xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.10.99.901)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Furthermore even some packages are shown that cannot be installed on
the renamed x server, because the drivers haven't been updated to work
on them. For example nvidia-current:
nvidia-current : Depends: xorg-video-abi-11
Depends: xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.10.99.901)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
nvidia-common needs to be updated to hide versions of nvidia drivers that
won't work on x 1.13 or later, and make them installable.
I think the xserver-xorg-core version check can be removed, in favor of
checking the video abi version.
Furthermore drivers should have an alternative dependency on the new
xserver
