[Solved] Nvidia packages have been kept back

[HydraGene]

I am using Debian 9. I am on a laptop, meaning I am using "bumblebee-nvidia" package. I do have the backports version of the nvidia driver. Let me know if you need more (detailed) info!

When I try to update the nvidia driver, I get the message saying some packages have been kept back..

I did search the internet and this forum, but all stated solutions that didn't work for me.. I have tried to do "sudo apt full-upgrade" and "sudo apt dist-upgrade" as mentioned as possible solutions, but both give me the following output:

Code: Select all

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libgl1-mesa-glx : Depends: libgl1
 wine32:i386 : Depends: libwine:i386 (= 1.8.7-2) but it is not going to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

So, it seems "libgl1" and/or "libwine:i386" are missing.. However, "libwine:i386" is installed and latest version. When I try to install "libgl1", the output asks me to remove my complete gnome desktop environment and more:

I have read previously some things about different versions of glx (mesa-glx / glvnd-nvidia-glx / nvidia-glvnd-glx), but couldn't find any solution there either..

I don't know what to do anymore.. Does anyone have any idea what might solve this or what things I could check next?

[Head_on_a_Stick]

Try

Code: Select all

# aptitude install -t stretch-backports libgl1-mesa-glx

Aptitude may offer several solutions to the problem, be sure to decline all of the options until it tells you there are no more left then go back and pick the best one (if there is an acceptable option).

If that doesn't work then please post

Code: Select all

apt policy libwine:i386
aptitude why-not libwine:i386

EDIT: have you tried nouveau? It should work with Bumblebee and will be significantly better integrated and easier to manage than the blobby driver.

[HydraGene]

Thank you for your suggestions!

sudo: aptitude: command not found

Quiet strange... Same with the other aptitude command.. Why isn't the command being found? I think it should be found..

"apt policy" gave:

[SOLVED]
But I have resolved it somehow already... I don't know what I did different from before, but I tried to manually install all upgradable packages in one command and it led me to other missing dependencies.. Installed those, and then did a full-upgrade.. Seems like my system is fully updated again. And the libwine:i386 issue is suddenly gone too..

The aptitude package is not part of the standard utility set and must be installed explicitly (sorry).

[HydraGene]

Ohh okay. I know I have used aptitude before on a previous OS install, but didn't remember I needed to explicitly install it..
Thanks for your help and time!

[stevepusser]

You also have to remember that the backports packages are pinned at 100 priority instead of the normal 500, and so they won't appear as standard upgrades in apt--you must specify you want the backports version.

Synaptic lets you prefer the versions from backports in its settings though. You must revert this setting before disabling the backports repo, however, or Synaptic will no longer start.

I'm also working on a "new hardware support" repo on the OBS that will have the same or higher type of packages as backports, just with a normal pinning.

https://build.opensuse.org/project/show ... re-support

It looks like now all I have to do it add ffmpeg and some more video players, since I'm pretty sure that the newer va-api libraries in backports break its hardware acceleration unless you rebuild those packages against them--at least that what happened in MX 18. Oh, and a new i965-va-driver package, too--gotta support Coffee Lake GPUs!

[HydraGene]

Yea, I'll remember that.

Nice thing about the "new hardware support"! I can imagine it would make things a lot easier, especially for the not-so-technical people.
