</div></div>Thanks Jack,<br>
I came across that post, in fact it was the *only* return I got in<br>
google from my query :)<br>
I tried forcing but I'm not sure I was doing it right, can you supply<br>
the command please for the<br>
packages I need to force upgrade?<br>
<br>
I tried:-<br>
apt-get install nvidia-glx-185 -f<br>
<div class="im">Reading package lists... Done<br>
Building dependency tree<br>
Reading state information... Done<br>
</div>nvidia-glx-185 is already the newest version.<br>
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:<br>
<div class="im">The following packages have unmet dependencies.<br>
</div> libmyth-0.22-0: Depends: libvdpau1 (>= 0.3) but it is not going to<br>
be installed<br>
mplayer: Depends: libvdpau1 (>= 0.3) but it is not going to be installed<br>
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or<br>
specify a solution).<br></blockquote></div><br>I used synaptic. Just selected the package (like nvidia-glx-185), then clicked the package menu option. About halfway down was a "force version" option. I clicked it and it let me choose the version I wanted. After I did that for all three packages and "apply"ed them I went to the same packages menu and selected "lock version". Synaptic wanted to upgrade them again right after I downgraded (since I was now using "out-of-date" packages), but that would have just put me back to square one :)<br>
<br>I don't use the apt-get command line very often, but it looks like from the man page you can do something like this:<br><br>apt-get install nvidia-glx-185=185.18.36-0ubuntu3<br><br>I've never tried it, but the man page says it should work:<br>
<br>"A specific version of a package can be selected for installation by<br> following the package name with an equals and the version of the<br> package to select. This will cause that version to be located and<br>
selected for install"<br><br>Good luck,<br><br>--Jack<br>
