Please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-common/+bug/873058 -- fglrx-updates fails to install under latest oneiric.

jockey-common and fglrx-updates appear to disagree on the expected name of the module via /usr/share/jockey/handlers/fglrx.py in jockey-common. How can we get the maintainers of these two packages to agree on an interface?
