I am no guru, however I did notice something which may help those who are gurus:
I am having video tearing issues with nvidia gtx960m on an MSi Ge72 2qd (side issue, but relevant). 1 -I installed the nvidia-364 drivers to test in current latest 3.x kernel, also intending to test under 4.5.2 (under 14-04 trusty installation). 2 - Rebooted after install of nvidia-364 drivers (found video tearing still present), so... 3 - Ran dpkg -i *.deb (as root) from directory containing 4.5.2 amd64 .debs and got the error that this bugtrack is about. 4 - I had previously done the same (i.e. built and run 4.5.2) on another unit runing 14.04 Trusty WITHOUT nvidia gpu/drivers in it without error messages, so... 5 - Uninstalled nvidia drivers as root (apt-get remove nvidia* && apt- get autoremove THEN apt-get purge nvidia*) - belt and braces I know but purge does pick up 4 further items to remove. 6 - Ran dpkg -i *.deb (as root) from directory containing 4.5.2 amd64 .debs and GOT NO ERROR. I have zero idea whether this is directly related to nvidia or to proprietary video drivers in general - however this might help the devs get on the right path to fixing it.
