Bug Description
[Impact]
* Users of the quantal lts backport stack on precise will not be able to install nvidia
drivers
* This is because we have not renamed these drivers with the proper changed package
names in the nvidia drivers
[Test Case]
# LANG=C apt-get install nvidia-
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
nvidia-
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[Regression Potential]
Low. The backports stack is new functionality that is coming in 12.04.2, so changes that affect this will have no impact on earlier versions of 12.04
[Original Text]
None of the nvidia and fglrx drivers can be installed through the gui, because they have a versioned depends on xserver-xorg-core.
For example:
# LANG=C apt-get install nvidia-
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
nvidia-
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Furthermore even some packages are shown that cannot be installed on the renamed x server, because the drivers haven't been updated to work on them. For example nvidia-current:
nvidia-current : Depends: xorg-video-abi-11
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
nvidia-common needs to be updated to hide versions of nvidia drivers that won't work on x 1.13 or later, and make them installable.
I think the xserver-xorg-core version check can be removed, in favor of checking the video abi version.
Furthermore drivers should have an alternative dependency on the new xserver
