Also on amd64.... Package broke not installed. Can't fix through any means provided by Synaptic or apt-get procedures.

I can not install glx-diversions 0.2.2 from any source either. It fails the synaptic installation due to inresolvable dependencies. When I try to install using gdebi, the error is "Dependency is not satisfiable: nvidia-installer-cleanup". If more logs are needed, I'll attach.

This means that I have NO possible way to smoothly enable hardware opengl acceleration - I'm STUCK on software-3d rendering only. I don't see much to do on this except dropping the Pre-Dep for nvidia-installer-cleanup . I've downloaded the .deb of the pre-dep and attempted to manually install it with no success at all -- it runs a script but install nothing and dpkg doesn't see it as installed. So, no resolve by simple manual work-around. Dropping this pre-dep, if at all possible, will allow me to at least get the glx-diversions package into my machine - and then I can do something.

Affects me too on my Samsung NP700Z5B/Ubuntu 12.10-64.

I cannot install glx-alternative-fglrx because glx-diversions is broken. Without glx-alternative-fglrx, I cannot get opengl to work on my amd64/ati system. Without opengl, unity won't work and cairo-dock won't work properly.

That affect all the people with Samsung ATI-GPU laptops. Probably all the people with hybrid ATI-GPU's. It may also affect glx-alternative-nvidia, since it also depents on glx-diversion.
