nvidia-glx and dpkg-divert
Hello Debian users,
Since XFree86 4.1.x is in sid, I have a problem updating my system.
nvidia-glx (The binary driver from nvidia) conflicts with the new version
of XFree86. Therefore dselect (apt respectively) tries to remove
nvidia-glx, but this fails with:
Removing nvidia-glx ...
dpkg-divert: mismatch on divert-to
when removing 'diversion of /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 to
/usr/share/nvidia-glx/diversions/libGL.so.1 by nvidia-glx'
found 'diversion of /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 to /usr/lib/nvidia-glx/libGL.so.1
by nvidia-glx'
dpkg: error processing nvidia-glx (--remove):
subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 2
[...]
This happens after downloading the packages, before any package is
installed, so my system is not updated any more.
What can I do? Please help.
Please answer by E-Mail, because I'm not subscribed to this list at the
moment (I'm in the army at the moment and don't have much time to be on a
list...)
Regards
Andreas
