No matter what I try, I get

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libxvmcnvidia1 : Depends: libgl1-nvidia-legacy-304xx-glx (= 304.108-2) but it is not installed


I tried purging the entire nvidia* thing still same result.

Can't d-u either, it gives me same result

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.

E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.



When trying d-u using -f - same result

32-bit? Do you have the siduction fixes repo activated
(In /etc/apt/sources-list.d/siduction.list you need:
deb http://packages.siduction.org/fixes unstable main contrib non-free )?

Debian didn't upload the 32-bit packages. So I run into a problem when I tried to install it. towo did upload fixed packages. So now all should work well.

Ok, now I saw it, your on 64 bit. Forget about towos fix, but the below should work.
/EDIT://

Try in RL 3 (init 3)

apt-get purge $(dpkg -l | awk '/nvidia/{print $2}') && apt-get install nvidia-legacy-304xx-driver nvidia-vdpau-driver  libxvmcnvidia1

I did copy this to a file <whatever> in /root, then switched to RL 3. And there "cat <whatever>" showed me what needed to be executed. You should be able to c&p to console. (nvidia-settings was not installable: http://forum.siduction.org/index.php?topic=3803 )

Thank you guys, I'm going to give this a try right away. I'm sure it will work. With towo on board this ship will never sink :-)

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
glx-diversions : PreDepends: nvidia-installer-cleanup but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Can't neither purge nor install

I figured it out. Because  of the package mismatch I couldn't purge nvidia.
I used dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia , deleted libxvmcnvidia1 separately,purged the rest and reinstalled the whole thing.
Works like a charm ! Thank you towo, thank you michaa7
