primus breaks libgl1-nvidia-glvnd-glx

[Pakos]

hi,

i'm trying to install primus however it fails at breaking nvidia package,

Code: Select all

The following NEW packages will be installed:
  primus{b} primus-libs{a} primus-libs:i386 primus-libs-ia32:i386{a} socat{a} 
0 packages upgraded, 5 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
Need to get 478 kB of archives. After unpacking 1,620 kB will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 primus : Breaks: libgl1-nvidia-glvnd-glx but 375.82-5 is installed
          Breaks: libgl1-nvidia-glvnd-glx:i386 but 375.82-5 is installed

Am i missing something? I was googling little bit but didn't find any information if it's a bug in primus or something?

(Debian Sid)

I ran into a problem in Sid recently with that libgl1-nvidia-glvnd-glx causing a dist-upgrade to fail. Just removed the package. There were a couple of dependent programs removed so note them and reinstall after. Don't proceed if there are lots of packages to remove.
Then do a full upgrade and cross fingers.

this isn't an update/upgrade, just an fresh install of bumbleebee.
I still cannot install it properly and i have tried that on 2 different laptops with nvidia cards with same result.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 primus : Breaks: libgl1-nvidia-glvnd-glx but 384.111-4 is to be installed
          Breaks: nvidia-driver-libs but 384.111-4 is to be installed
          Breaks: libgl1-nvidia-glvnd-glx:i386 but 384.111-4 is installed
          Breaks: nvidia-driver-libs:i386 but 384.111-4 is installed
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

     Keep the following packages at their current version:
1)     primus [Not Installed]                             

     Leave the following dependencies unresolved:         
2)     bumblebee recommends virtualgl | primus            

Really nobody is using it nowadays? Maybe there is other software right now to get it working?

Why do you have nvidia-driver 375.82 (Stretch version) in Sid? You should have 384.111. Please explain how this has come about.

Maybe no dist-upgrade done in the 4 months since the thread started?
