Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,


-- System Information:
Debian Release: stretch/sid
   APT prefers testing
   APT policy: (500, 'testing')
Architecture: i386 (i686)

Kernel: Linux 4.2.0-1-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores)
Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash
Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)

I track 'testing' and upgrade every few days, almost always without any 
issues.  However a couple of weeks ago the upgrade caused my Xorg to 
fail with the above message.  Looking at Xorg.0.log, comparing a good 
version (running a backup) with the failed upgrade, the first sign of 
trouble is the message: "failed to set drm version".

lspci reports my card:
NVIDIA Corporation GF119 [GeForce GT 610] (rev a1)

I use the nouveau driver. I have an Xorg.conf, but it works fine prior 
to the upgrade.  Removing Xorg.conf made no difference (I need it to get 
my dual monitors working).  I tried reinstalling every package that has 
'drm' in its name with no change.  If it is relevant, recent efforts at 
upgrades on the broken install (I have expected that this bug would fix 
itself after a few subsequent upgrades) report something to the effect 
that the signature of the upgrade has not been updated--or something 
like that.
