<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Sorry to be back a bit later, <br><br>But the bug is still here on the latest Nvidia from Experimental. <br><br>I also saw that there is a new version of libc 2.18-1 available and tried to update to it but it too failed.<br>
<br></div><div>Then I followed the instructions Andreas gave to update-alternatives and the packages installed succesfully. So there is a workaround. <br><br>But will the problem come back again when the next update of libc comes? Well I tried to run the preinst script with set -x instead of set -e. This was done after i set the drivers back to nvidia with update-alternatives.<br>
