Bug description:
  After getting the latest updates in lucid, including the 2.6.32-20
  kernel, and rebooting the machine, X only started in low graphics
  mode. After I started to investigate it seemed like the nvidia kernel
  module failed to build. I tried to reinstall nvidia-current (apt-get
  autoremove nvidia-current, apt-get install nvidia-current) but it
  failed with the following message.

  If I try to activate the nvidia drivers using jockey-gtk or jockey-
  text, I get the following error

  root@thor:~# jockey-text -e xorg:nvidia_current

  Searching for available drivers...

  SystemError: installArchives() failed

  Meanwhile, the proprietary nvidia drivers continue to happily work in
  2.6.32-19 kernel. Only building the module for 2.6.32-20 seems to
  fail.

  Thank you for your help. Please let me know if I can give you any more
  relevant debugging information. This machine was upgraded from 9.04 to
  10.04, for all that it matters.
