Nvidia driver transitions -- what's going on?

[dibl]

D-U today offers the following, among other things:

Code Auswählen Erweitern

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  gir1.2-spice-client-gtk-2.0 nvidia-driver xserver-xorg-video-nvidia


and

Code Auswählen Erweitern


The following packages will be upgraded:
...
libegl1-nvidia libgl1-nvidia-glx
libnvidia-eglcore
  libnvidia-glcore libnvidia-ml1
nvidia-alternative
  nvidia-driver-bin nvidia-driver-libs nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-kernel-support
  nvidia-legacy-check nvidia-vdpau-driver


Is it a good day to wait?

[musca]

hello dibl,

yes, waiting is right.

The next driver release is already incoming and will be available after the next sync.

I'm trying it now ...
Setting up nvidia-driver (358.16-3) ...

see you later, hopefully
musca

[musca]

Hello,

nvidia-driver 358.16-3 from incoming seems to be okay.
Let your mirrors complete the sync and make sure you don't install 355.11-7.
I found nvidia-modprobe has a higher version number.

Excellent -- thanks Musca.  I'll wait until tomorrow morning, Eastern Time.  I like my linux with a desktop.

Musste Neuübersetzen was recht selten in der letzten Zeit vorkam
xserver-xorg-video-nvidia wollte nicht

[piper]

What do you mean you had to recompile ?

Was meinst du damit Sie neu kompilieren mussten?

This morning the d-u completed with no drama.
