Hi

I'm trying to update my Nvidia drivers from the 195-version to the new
256-version with the janitor-script.
The script was running fine up the point where it wants to install the
nvidia-driver. download worked fine but then I get the error message

mkdir: cannot create directory
`/usr/share/sony-laptop/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-256.44.run/': File exists

The script is trying to create a directory with the same name as the file it
just downloaded. I absoluty don't understand why this happens. I cannot
locate the line in the script where it tries to crete that directory. I
believe it happens somewhere in the function
create_nvsetupfile(). But this function is crazy, I do not understand at all
what is happening there.

The old driver files had the ending -pkg0 . I don't no if the script might
be confused by that.

Can anybody help me, please.
I need my computer working very soon. I'm leaving for some conference in two
days. need help urgenly.

br, André
