Hi all,
today apt offered a new version of the proprietary nvidia drivers from
rpmforge. However in addition to upgrading the two installed packages,
it also installed a new dkms-nvidia-x11-drv package.
I used to have:
nvidia-x11-drv-173.08-1.beta.el5.rf.x86_64
nvidia-x11-drv-32bit-173.08-1.beta.el5.rf.x86_64
I now have:
dkms-nvidia-x11-drv-180.51-1.nodist.rf.x86_64
nvidia-x11-drv-180.51-1.el5.rf.x86_64
nvidia-x11-drv-32bit-180.51-1.el5.rf.x86_64
AFAICS the two packages dkms-nvidia-x11-drv and nvidia-x11-drv seem
almost identical, except for a few cosmetic changes (dir names,
PACKAGE_VERSION value in dkms.conf, and
/usr/share/applications/*.desktop file name change).
I can also see that dkms-nvidia-x11-drv-180.51-1.nodist.rf.x86_64
obsoletes nvidia-x11-drv <= 173.08 .
I guess I should install dkms-nvidia-x11-drv as well as the (currently
not installed) dkms-nvidia-x11-drv-32bit, and uninstall nvidia-x11-drv
and nvidia-x11-drv-32bit ?
If this is true, probably the dkms-* packages should obsolete all
versions of nvidia-x11-drv* ?
Is this correct?
Thanks.
Regards,
Nicolas
