Bug Description

Binary package hint: nvidia-glx-185

I mistakenly did and `sudo apt-get --assume-yes --force-yes dist-upgrade` without noticing what was going to change. For some reason the package nvidia-glx-185 was removed and if I try to install it I get a notification that xserver-xorg and gdm packages are going to be removed. I know I don't want those removed. I've tried older versions but they all seem to have the same issue.

In case this problem won't be resolved for a long time. Is there a way to go back to Karmic?
