Ok, did it. Also deleted the 'nvidia-driver-304' and 'linux_base-f10'
and installed them again by the same command. It works, thank you.

But how could I know all this before the installation? The
'linux_base-f10' package could check it and stop the installation with
an appropriate warning message, if that manadatory condition is not
fulfilled. I think It must never try to install itself if it's known
that it will fail.
