No, this is the reason that Synaptic needs to have a rollback feature.

Subject: [Bug 429003] Re: [karmic] Xorg (and anything GLX) crashes on
startup

This also affects nvidia Beta (190.32, 190.18) and Old drivers (96.x
170.x)

This is the reason why nVidia drivers need to be open source.

Bug description:
As of after updates at 2009-09-13 ca. 16:00, Xorg and anything using GLX
(eg. glxinfo) crashes on startup.
The only thing that seems to have been changed then is the upgrade of
libc6 to 2.10.1-0ubuntu11.

Log of crashing Xorg run is attached. The corresponding gdb backtrace
is:
$ gdb /usr/bin/Xorg CoreDump

Glxinfo backtrace looks like this:
$ unset DISPLAY
$ gdb glxinfo
...
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/bin/glxinfo 

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Note that it crashes at a very early stage, not probably even contacting
X server yet (since DISPLAY is unset).
