Bug Description

TEST CASE:
1. use hardy kubuntu install
2. install linux-restricted-modules-common
3. perform hardy-> karmic upgrade
4. verify that /ect/modprobe.d/lrm-video is still there

5. repeat 1,2
6. enable hardy-proposed
7. repeat 3
8 verify that /ect/modprobe.d/lrm-video is now gone

Binary package hint: update-manager

The issue is simple:
Upgrading from Hardy to Karmic didn't remove the file /ect/modprobe.d/lrm-video belonging to linux-restricted-modules-common
This produced the issue that all nvidia drivers under Karmic were failing to start.

I do not know how that file survived, even if I didn't have linux-restricted-modules-common installed, but pls add a small check in the python script to delete this file if present, as it will save lot of time of all affected by this issue.

Thanks
Marco

I did a typo and I think you copy/pasted in the patch as well:
/ect should be /etc

Accepted nvidia-common into karmic-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!
