Eh, so you've done a partial upgrade and expect things to work? Closing the bug, you need to do a full upgrade even if it means losing your precious nvidia blob.

Nvidia blob is important for me, because I need 3D.

Partial upgrade does not mean that I have some package in broke state, It only means that do not have all packages update to the bleeding edge versions. If this introduces incompatibility, there should be package conflicts, and if there are no conflicts, I really do expect things to work.

The new X stack has been in lucid for more than a month, and no-one has complained about this. Bugabundos logs have nothing useful. Attach yours.

on a second thought, there's no way anyone is going to fix old packages. You already have deps that break the blobs. That should be an indication what to do..
