Bug#578881: nvidia-libvdpau1 has circular Depends on nvidia-vdpau-driver

2010-04-23 Thread Bill Allombert
Package: nvidia-libvdpau1
Version: 190.53-4
Severity: important

Hello Debian NVIDIA Maintainers,

There is a circular dependency between nvidia-libvdpau1 and nvidia-vdpau-driver:

nvidia-libvdpau1:Depends: nvidia-vdpau-driver (= 190.53)
nvidia-vdpau-driver :Depends: libvdpau1 | nvidia-libvdpau1

Circular dependencies involving shared libraries are known to cause problems
during upgrade between stable releases, so we should try to get rid of them.

Cheers,

Imagine a large red swirl here.

This could be solved by dropping nvidia-libvdpau1 and
nvidia-libvdpau1-ia32 and using the free wrapper libraries in libvdpau1,
lib32vdpau1 instead.
There is no reason to have two implementations of the wrapper anyway.
Dropping of couse would mean to create transitional packages depending
on the respective libvdpau1 package ... lib32vdpau1 is not yet in
Debian, but a patch to create it is in the BTS.
