Bug#1038729: xkb-data: Upgrade wants to remove nVidia drivers

[Nicolas Patrois]

Package: xkb-data
Version: 2.35.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Upgrading xkb-data wants me to remove these automatically installed packages:

libegl-nvidia-legacy-390xx0 libgl1-nvidia-legacy-390xx-glvnd-glx libgles-
nvidia-legacy-390xx1
libgles-nvidia-legacy-390xx2 libnvidia-legacy-390xx-eglcore libnvidia-
legacy-390xx-encode1
libnvidia-legacy-390xx-nvcuvid1 nvidia-egl-common nvidia-legacy-390xx-driver-
bin
nvidia-legacy-390xx-driver-libs nvidia-legacy-390xx-egl-icd nvidia-settings-
legacy-390xx virtualbox-guest-utils
xcvt xserver-xorg-legacy

Sorry xkb-data but I need them for my old graphic card.

Yours,
n.

Are you talking about upgrading *to* xkb-data 2.35.1-1 or *from*
xkb-data 2.35.1-1 to xkb-data 2.38-2?

Also, can you please show us the complete output of the command:

apt install xkb-data

Thanks, console-setup & friends — then I understand. That's due to an
ongoing transition and expected behavior. See
