Hello,

I've been using debian SID for quite some time now (over one year) and have an consistant problem for about 3 weeks now:

When I do apt-get dist-upgrade I get the following errors:

Each day new packaeges are added to the repository of SID but these "kept back" packages are allways there. When I manually select them for install I get a "E: broken package" error. Is this happening to anyone else these days/weeks. I upgraded to X.Org, Gnome 2.10 and firefox 1.06.

Meanwhile I also have problems with my nvidia drivers: The Nvidia logo appears but there is no harware acceleration. My kernel is 2.6.11-k7 and gcc 4 is installed (due to apt-get update). When I try to reinstall my nvidia drivers I get an eror that the gcc libraries used to compile the kernel nd the ones on my system are different. What should I do?

Thank you very much in advance ...

SID is currently going through an upgrade of gcc to version 4, which is a change in the ABI for all C++ programs, This means at the moment things are very unstable until this is complete. I'm in fact not updating my system till its done.

THe only way I can think of for solving the problems with Nvidia is if you recompile the kernel module yourself. The easiest way to do this is download the kernel-headers for your kernel version, and use the driver installer from nvidia.

Also check that in the modules section of xorg.conf you have
Load glx
as one of the lines.
