Comment 132 for bug 948053

probably there is also a bug in the NVIDIA driver 96.43.23 installer, everytime I run NVIDIA driver script to compile the driver to upgrade/redo (xorg changes or whatever) , it deletes my installed libvdpau.so.1 I have to uninstall and reinstall libvdpau1 package through apt-get command. It's quite annoying when I want to use mplayer and gmplayer because of this error:

$ mplayer
mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libvdpau.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

my /var/log/nvidia-installer.log. It shows:
$ cat nvidia-installer.log |grep libvdpau
-> Unable to restore symbolic link /usr/lib/libvdpau.so.1 -> libvdpau.so.1.0.0
-> Unable to restore symbolic link /usr/lib/vdpau/libvdpau_trace.so.1 ->
libvdpau_trace.so.1.0.0 (File exists).

can somebody file a bug?

maybe affect also other nvidia installers, as i read on the net that the code to delete conflicting libvdpau files was added to recent versions of the installer where the package replaces it with its own. That shouldn't have been backported to the legacy driver series, since it doesn't install one.
