Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nvidia-current
Recent versions of the nvidia-current package for amd64 are missing
/usr/lib32/nvidia-current/libXvMCNVIDIA.so.260.*. This is probably
unintentional since the package still contains the usual symlinks
(libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1, libXvMCNVIDIA.so, libXvMCNVIDIA.so.1)
pointing to the missing shared library. This affects maverick and natty
(but not lucid).
The library is still part of the upstream packages, in both 32- and 64-bit
versions. What seems to have changed is that it is now linked against
libXvMC.so.1, which is available in 64-bit form from Ubuntu package libxvmc1
but not yet in 32-bit form. I'm therefore conjecturing that one way to fix this
bug could be to:
(1) make some package (ia32-libs or whatever) provide /usr/lib32/libXvMC.so.1;
(2) make nvidia-current build-depend on this package.
The package as it stands may be inadvertently violating the "No
Separation of Components" clause in the NVIDIA license. (In other words,
I don't think that dropping the dangling symlinks would be an acceptable
solution.)
