Dear All,

I just installed Debian Squeeze (6.0) on my Sony Vaio VGN-Z93FS. I tried to
setup the laptop with the janitor script (
http://global-social.net/tiki-view_blog.php?blogId=3#sony-VGN-Zseries-janitor),
but when it reaches the section of the nvidia driver it quits issuing
the
following error msg :

- apt-get -qq install xserver-xorg-video-v4l .... failed!
sony-VGN-Zseries-janitor: error running "apt-get install
xserver-xorg-video-v4l":
E: Package 'xserver-xorg-video-v4l' has no installation candidate

ow can I overcome this problem and install the nvidia driver?

Thanks a lot in advance for your time and help.

P.S - I leave you the complete output of the script.
