when i try to install " jockey-common " i get the message:

Recommends: nvidia-common (>= 1:0.2.36)

hello,
you can change synaptic's preferences thus:
Synaptic Packet Manager => Settings => Preferences => UNcheck "Consider recommended packages as dependencies".

does that help?

what about

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install wine jockey-common nvidia-common
?
anyway, as far as i know, you are not forced to to install recommended packages...
