You don't have two versions of nvidia-settings. |
38 |
You have one version of nvidia-drivers and one version of |
39 |
nvidia-settings, and they don't have the same version number. |

41 |
This is normal, nvidia-settings often runs behind nvidia-drivers. They |
42 |
do not seem to get updated at the same time (unless driver changes |
43 |
require it be done of course) |
