Package: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
Version: 1:0.0.10~git+20080706+b1f3169-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

xserver-xorg-video-nouveau requires linux-nouveau-modules. AFAIK (and
I've looked at incoming and the NEW queue) I have no idea where to find/build
this package, thus making the nouveau module unusable... If I'm missing
something obvious, then maybe the nouveau driver should recommend the
relevant other package (similarly to the nvidia-glx package and kernel
modules) to avoid confusing others.

Thanks,

Tom Parker

Hi,

Just confirming what Julien said. If it helps, the next upload will make the
connection between the xserver-xorg-video-nouveau driver and the drm-modules
module package more obvious.

Closing this bug accordingly.
