Bug#785598: nvidia-vdpau-driver: routine upgrades again install a nvidia driver on non-nvidia hardware

[Janusz S. Bień]

Package: nvidia-vdpau-driver
Version: 340.65-2
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

Please reassign as appropriate.

Contrary to the previous case

         #769072: Broken graphics due to libgl1-nvidia-glx auto-install on
 non-nvidia hardware

I get only warnings, e.g. when calling vlc

  modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia_current': No such device

I can live with it, especially as I will stop to use the computer in
question in a few weeks.

I report the bug just for information that such things happen.

Best regards

Janusz
