Bug Description
Hwloc-contrib 1.9-1 currently fails to build because it depends on libxnvctrl-dev which is not available.
Package libxnvctrl-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
nvidia-settings
E: Package 'libxnvctrl-dev' has no installation candidate
apt-get failed.

In Debian, libxnvctrl-dev is part of the nvidia-settings package (http://

I had a go at merging the changes from 343.22-1 in Debian experimental. /launchpad. net/~ginggs/ +archive/ ubuntu/ arm-testing
The result is available in my PPA:

and the debdiff is attached. The armhf build runs fine on an NVIDIA Jetson TK1 board.
Moving forward, I think it would be easier to maintain if we started with the Debian packaging (I think it can be used with only minor changes to debian/control) and then merged in the Ubuntu patches.
Upstream have released version 346.47 and I can look at updating the Debian package to that version.
Is there still time to get this into Vivid?
