Bug Description

nvidia-current 304.32 and 304.37 currently fail to build with xserver-xorg-core 2:1.12.99.905-0ubuntu2 installed because they depend on xorg-video-abi-11 or 12.

As noted in the comment, commenting out this VIDEODEP= line in debian/rules fixes the problem:

# Comment out the following line to re-enable automatic ABI detection
VIDEODEP = xorg-video-abi-11|xorg-video-abi-12|xorg-video-abi-13, xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.11.99.901)

See also bug #1032672, which is about a similar problem in fglrx, but some people with nvidia cards have also reported this issue there.

Todays updates have fixed this issue for me. After installing all available updates I was able to install nvidia-current like normal.

This isn't a duplicate of #1037483, which is about Precise. This bug is about Quantal.

However, 304.43 does build correctly on my Quantal system (and on novak's), so this bug does appear to be fixed.
