A couple of weeks or so ago the NVIDIA drivers went missing in Sid. Now they're back but nvidia-settings remains absent. I have tried googling but my skills seem to escape me. Does anybody know why this is and when the package is likely to return to Sid?
There's no version in experimental either which is where I would go otherwise.
I can understand the driver going when NVIDIA mess with things and it requires different libraries etc. but nvidia-settings going missing seems a bit odd. It's seems to be there in the NVIDIA blob also (had to use for a few days when I inadvertently allowed apt to remove the drivers).

It's a good idea to check the PTS and relevant bug reports...

Thanks for that, I never know where to look for these things.

The newest version according to packages.debian.org is 319.72-1~bpo70+1, although I see 337.19 in the repository. I'm on 331.67.

Thanks replica9000, I have Debian Package Search as a search engine in Firefox and I've been checking whether nvidia-settings is back in Sid or not for a while. Thankfully it's not something I rely upon (or I'd just install the binary blob) but it's used in my conky (the NVIDIA things don't seem to work, but that's another story) so I'll be pleased to see it back.

It's back in unstable today https://packages.debian.org/sid/nvidia-settings

Thanks, didn't even have to go home and check myself but could just install it via SSH as I sit in a pub.
