Bug#875438: nvidia-graphics-drivers: nvidia-driver can no longer be installed with the new libgl1-mesa-dev

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: nvidia-graphics-drivers
Version: 375.82-3
Severity: important

The installation of the new mesa packages yields the deinstallation
of the nvidia driver packages. For instance:

cventin:~> apt install -s libgl1-mesa-dev libglvnd-dev libegl1 libgles2 libopengl0
[...]
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  libegl1-glvnd-nvidia libegl1-glvnd-nvidia:i386 libgl1-glvnd-nvidia-glx
  libgl1-glvnd-nvidia-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-nvidia-glvnd-glx
  libgl1-nvidia-glvnd-glx:i386 libgldispatch0-nvidia
  libgldispatch0-nvidia:i386 libgles2-glvnd-nvidia libgles2-glvnd-nvidia:i386
  libglu1-mesa:i386 libglx0-glvnd-nvidia libglx0-glvnd-nvidia:i386
  libopengl0-glvnd-nvidia libopengl0-glvnd-nvidia:i386 libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0
  libwine:i386 nvidia-driver nvidia-driver-libs nvidia-driver-libs:i386
  nvidia-driver-libs-i386:i386 wine32:i386
[...]

cventin:~> apt install -s libgl1-mesa-dev libglvnd-dev libegl1 libgles2 libopengl0 nvidia-driver
[...]
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 nvidia-driver : Depends: nvidia-driver-libs (= 375.82-3) but it is not going to be installed

and "apt upgrade -s" wants to keep back the packages.

If I try the upgrade with aptitude, it wants to remove libgl1-mesa-dev,
and other packages that depend on it. So, that is definitely not a
solution.

I suppose that this needs some update from nvidia-graphics-drivers.
