xserver-xorg-video-radeon requires xorg-video-abi-9 but it is not installable

[Mario Rugiero]

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

When I try to update the system, the radeon driver show dependency problems, like the title says. Just that.

the same problem

[Zuzkins (zuzkins-gmail)]

My upgrade went smoothly (have nvidia) and even the driver was updated, but after a restart X won't start, because nvidia driver complains about incorrect version of ABI. Starting Xorg with a suggested switch (-ignoreABI) gives me a black screen. It is a blocker for me (lost my desktop).

[Zuzkins (zuzkins-gmail)]

After updating from the US mirrors, the issue was fixed for me. xserver-xorg-core 1.10 got installed together with nvidia-current-270.30-0ubuntu3, which, again, work together

thanks guys

I got the new package from this place (since nobody bumped it to the main repo):

[Mario Rugiero (mrugiero)]

Solved in new update.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

This is not really a legitimate error message, it's just telling you the xserver package was available for your system before the driver had finished building against it. When you see the error, just wait a few hours and try again.

It appears that this problem now affects the package "xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd". Could you please attempt to install the same patch on this package so that I can test my Radeon 6670HD?

[Alaric (jroose)]

Sorry, I'm no longer certain this is the right location for this post, as I am utilizing the xorg-edgers repository.
