Help me understand these dependencies (xorg/video drivers)
Debian testing installation. An aptitude dist-upgrade today results in: The following packages have unmet dependencies: fglrx-driver: Conflicts: nvidia-glx but 195.36.24-4 is to be installed. xserver-xorg-core: Breaks: xserver-xorg-video-2 which is a virtual package. Breaks: xserver-xorg-video-cyrix (= 1:1.1.0-8) but 1:1.1.0-8 is to be installed. Breaks: xserver-xorg-video-nsc (= 1:2.8.3-4) but 1:2.8.3-4 is to be installed. fglrx-glx: Conflicts: nvidia-glx but 195.36.24-4 is to be installed. nvidia-glx: Conflicts: fglrx-glx but 1:10-7-1 is to be installed. but I can't understand why it's installing fglrx-driver or nvidia-glx An aptitude why on those packages shows: $ aptitude why fglrx-driver i gnomeDependsgdm3 | gdm-themes p gdm3 Recommends xserver-xorg p A xserver-xorg Dependsxserver-xorg-video-all | xserver-xorg-video-6 p fglrx-driver Provides xserver-xorg-video-6 aptitude why nvidia-glx i gnomeDependsgdm3 | gdm-themes p gdm3 Recommends xserver-xorg p A xserver-xorg Dependsxserver-xorg-video-all | xserver-xorg-video-6 p nvidia-glx Provides xserver-xorg-video-6 so it seems they are installed since they provide 'xserver-xorg-video-6' BUT I already have 'xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd' which provides the same package, so why does aptitude want to install the proprietary display drivers? Also, can I safely remove every xserver-xorg-video-* except the one I'm using? Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Not sure, try opening aptitude in and cancelling all pending actions. sudo aptitude then press e or click actions cancel pending actions. Also, can I safely remove every xserver-xorg-video-* except the one I'm using? Yup Thanks.

Seems the last update broke some of the drivers, I would remove xserver-xorg-video-nsc, xserver-xorg-video-nsc, xserver-xorg-video-all, and reinstall xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd or xserver-xorg-video-ati (the newer driver that has replaced the ageing radeonhd one). Also try updating the aptitude cache, maybe its got confused. snippy An aptitude why on those packages shows: $ aptitude why fglrx-driver i gnome Depends gdm3 | gdm-themes p gdm3 Recommends xserver-xorg p A xserver-xorg Depends xserver-xorg-video-all | xserver-xorg-video-6 p fglrx-driver Provides xserver-xorg-video-6 aptitude why nvidia-glx i gnome Depends gdm3 | gdm-themes p gdm3 Recommends xserver-xorg p A xserver-xorg Depends xserver-xorg-video-all | xserver-xorg-video-6 p nvidia-glx Provides xserver-xorg-video-6 so it seems they are installed since they provide 'xserver-xorg-video-6' BUT I already have 'xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd' which provides the same package, so why does aptitude want to install the proprietary display drivers?

Did the solver give you any other options? -- Regards, Angus Hedger Debian GNU/Linux User PGP Public Key 0xEE6A4B97 signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Glad to hear it, I have always found xorg to have the most, sensitive dependencies ;) -- Regards, Angus Hedger Debian GNU/Linux User PGP Public Key 0xEE6A4B97 signature.asc Description: PGP signature
