Bug#969948: [debian buster] [xbase-clients] The following packages have unmet dependencies:

[Jean-Marc LACROIX <jeanmarc.lacroix@free.fr>]

Julien,

Indeed, it  is not possible to install  this package, because  I put a
rule of  no  installation in  the  APT preference file  following dark
stories of Nvidia drivers ...

After                            deleting                          the
/etc/apt/preferences.d/preferences_debian_v_10_buster_no_driver_nouveau_but_driver_nvidia.pref
file, everything is OK:


ansible@vm-buster-amd64-190:~$ dpkg -l |grep xbase-client
ii  xbase-clients                        1:7.7+19 
all          miscellaneous X clients - metapackage
ansible@vm-buster-amd64-190:~$ cat /etc/debian_version
10.5
ansible@vm-buster-amd64-190:~$

Sorry for the inconvenience, please close this bug
