@ Martin Pitt #23

Is your proposed fix to nvidia-common supposed to fix jockey's handling
of installing proprietary AMD drivers (fglrx)?  That seems rather
counter-intuitive.

I have a fresh AMD64 installation of Oneiric, plus all updates (but no
-proposed).  Jockey fails with the message "sorry installation of this
driver failed" "please have a look at the log file for details:
/var/log/jockey.log".  I have no nVidia hardware.

The jockey log is somewhat opaque.  It does include a python traceback in nVidia code:
2011-12-28 16:29:59,976 DEBUG: NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (post-release updates) availability undetermined, adding to pool
2011-12-28 16:29:59,977 DEBUG: Could not instantiate Handler subclass __builtin__.NvidiaDriverBase from name NvidiaDriverBase
Traceback (most recent call last):
