some packages fail to build because of missing libcuda1

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This bug affects me. GPU emulation on android emulator can't work on AMD64 without libgl1-nvidia-glx-ia32 and libgl1-nvidia-alternatives-ia32 installed.

This issue is the origin of these build failures in Quantal:
  pycuda - https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pycuda/2012.1-1/+build/3603969 (needs nvidia-cuda-toolkit)
  nvidia-cuda-toolkit - https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-cuda-toolkit/4.2.9-1/+build/3510919 (needs libcua1)

Splitting the Nvidia driver into so many packages would require a major rework of the packaging. I fixed the dependencies and build dependencies of nvidia-cuda-toolkit instead.

This bug was fixed in the package nvidia-cuda-toolkit - 4.2.9-1ubuntu1

---------------
nvidia-cuda-toolkit (4.2.9-1ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low

  * debian/control:
    - Build depend and depend on nvidia to fix FTBFS (LP: #950963).

This bug was fixed in the package nvidia-graphics-drivers - 304.51.really.304.43-0ubuntu1

---------------
nvidia-graphics-drivers (304.51.really.304.43-0ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low

  * Revert to 304.43 (LP: #1057000).

    - Add /usr/share/applications. This should fix
      nvidia-cuda-toolkit FTBFS (LP: #950963).
  * debian/nvidia-current.{postinst|prerm}.in,
    debian/rules:
    - Make sure that the packaging knows how to deal with
      reverted versions such as this one.

[SRU] The attached debdiff backports a single change from nvidia-graphics-drivers 304.51.really.304.43-0ubuntu1 in Quantal to Precise so that packages that Build-Depend on nvidia-current can be built.

[IMPACT]
When attempting to build packages that Build-Depends on nvidia-current for Precise, the build servers are unable to install nvidia-current and the build fails.

[Test Cases]
Upload any source package that Build-Depends on nvidia-current; e.g. nvidia-cuda-toolkit, starpu-contrib or viennacl, to the PPA builders targeted for Precise.

[Regression Potential]
Minimal: the change only affects the installation of the nvidia-current and none of the packages that Build-Depend on it can currently build.

Sponsored the n-g-d precise patch into the SRU review queue. But please update the SRU description how adding a desktop file in /usr/share/applications is related to a missing libcuda1 and fixes build failures. Thanks!

Unsubscribing sponsors.

Hello IRIE, or anyone else affected,

Accepted nvidia-graphics-drivers into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/295.40-0ubuntu1.3 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

I was able to build nvidia-cuda-toolkit successfully on a PPA builder with Proposed dependencies enabled.

Previously, the build would fail while installing nvidia-current:

Setting up nvidia-current (295.40-0ubuntu1.2) ...
update-alternatives: using /usr/lib/nvidia-current/ld.so.conf to provide /etc/ld.so.conf.d/x86_64-linux-gnu_GL.conf (x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf) in auto mode.
update-alternatives: error: error creating symbolic link `/usr/share/applications/ubuntu-nvidia-settings.desktop.dpkg-tmp': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing nvidia-current (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

Now, nvidia-current is installed successfully and the build goes on to completion:

Setting up nvidia-current (295.40-0ubuntu1.3) ...
update-alternatives: using /usr/lib/nvidia-current/ld.so.conf to provide /etc/ld.so.conf.d/x86_64-linux-gnu_GL.conf (x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf) in auto mode.
update-alternatives: using /usr/lib/nvidia-current/alt_ld.so.conf to provide /etc/ld.so.conf.d/i386-linux-gnu_GL.conf (i386-linux-gnu_gl_conf) in auto mode.

Uploaded all of those (including starpu-contrib which won't build until nvidia-cuda-toolkit has)

This bug was fixed in the package nvidia-graphics-drivers - 295.40-0ubuntu1.3

  * Backport the following change from 304.51.really.304.43-0ubuntu1

    (LP: #950963).
    - debian/nvidia-current.dirs.in:
      - Add /usr/share/applications.
