I didn't see this anymore during my last test installations, so this bug

Title:
  Phantom package management error while trying to install nvidia driver
  with jockey

Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Hello,

  after installing Oneiric for Alpha 3-testing, I was as usual trying to
  installing the propritary Nvidia driver via Jockey.

  But this was unsuccessfull, resulting in a package management error
  message that poped up shortly after the "Downloading and installing
  driver"-progress dialog appeared (see attached screenshot), saying
  "Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.".

  The interesting thing is, despite the error message there seemed to be nothing wrong regarding package management on my system.
  "dpkg --configure -a" showed nothing, and trying to install nvidia-current via Synaptic worked without any problem or warning.

  So there seems to be an issue with Jockey believing, that somethings
  wrong with the package management, which in reality isn't the case.

  Kind regards,
  Jan
