Package: nvidia-settings
Version: 302.17-2
Severity: important

Hi it seems nvidia-settings was updated to 302.17-2 in testing but the dkms package
and other packages related to the nvidia binary driver have been kept at 295.59.1.
This causes the following error to occur in nvidia-settings:

Unable to load X Server Display Configuration page:

The NVIDIA X driver on <install name> is not new enough to support the
nvidia-settings Display Configuration page.

Here is a grep of installed versions of my nvidia pacakges, I'm no expert but if there
are miss matching versions of packages that compose the "Nividia Binary Driver"
there are going to be errors like the ones above so those packages probably shouldn't
be pushed unless the other packages are ready. The work around was to install the
packages from unstable.
