[Bug 897681] [NEW] dkms attempts to install the wrong driver

 

Public bug reported:

on initial install from the nov 18 daily live cd dkms/jockey attempted
to install the nvidia 173 driver  resulting in a black screen on boot .
I hand installed the the 290.10 driver direct from nvidia , this allowed
me to get to a desktop but now everytime something causes dkms/jockey to
run I get a warning that it failed to install the 173 driver , my card
(nvidia 7600gs ) requires the nvidia-current not the nvidia 173 .
