Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

As the nouveau module is now built in to the kernel rather than being provided by the backport package, the xorg driver package now fails to install.

This bug was fixed in the package xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - 1:0.0.15+git20100219+9b4118d-0ubuntu4

---------------
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (1:0.0.15+git20100219+9b4118d-0ubuntu4) lucid; urgency=low

  * debian/control:
    + Drop dependency on linux-backports-modules-nouveau-lucid-FLAVOUR. As of
      2.6.32-16 nouveau is in the main kernel image. Fixes unsatisfiable
      depends (LP: #534978) and prevents the alternate-installer being
      confused (LP: #526422).
    + Drop ancient, unnecessary conflicts/replaces on non-existent nvidia-glx
      virtual package.
  * debian/nouveau_kms:
  * debian/rules:
    + Drop nouveau_kms initramfs-tools hook. Now that nouveau is in the main
      kernel image the existing framebuffer hook correctly copies nouveau into
      the initramfs.
  * debian/dirs:
    + Drop, no longer need initramfs-tools hook directory
  * debian/postinst:
  * debian/postrm:
    + Drop; update-initramfs trigger is no longer necessary.
