Hi,
I recently downloaded and compiled the linux 2.6.0-test11 source. However to be able to use NVIDIA graphics driver it I had to install the 2.6-friendly compiled GLX-package from NVIDIA.
Because I had installed the NVIDIA-kernel from source I forced the GLX install in dpkg.

However since then I cannot install any dpkg-package or upgrade my system.
# apt-get upgrade
gives me

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
nvidia-glx: Depends: nvidia-kernel-1.0.4496 but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

Is there any way to make dpkg for example think that I've installed nvidia-kernel?

Sheers,

Look at 'man apt-get', there's an option for running the process without resolving dependencies; as "nvidia-kernel-1.0..." seems to be your only dependency problem, you can tell apt-get not to care about what a program needs. Nevertheless, apt-get it's kind of an authority in the dependency-solving fact, so if it tells you that you need "nvidia-kernel..." you need it.

Greetings.

Well, everything works fine and infact I have it installed. It's just that I didn't install it thrue apt-get. Can one possibly add it in the "non-dependency"-list or such somewhere?
