Bug Description

I got this message after salvaging my Ubuntu Desktop 11.04.

My troubles started when I installed a new NVIDIA Graphic card in my system. System won't boot, either from my SSD or LiveCD.

To salvage the system , I had to remove the board from my system, reboot with my 11.04 Live CD which then work because my system was defaulting to my Intel Intel Integrated Graphics processor (I have an Intel i7 2600 processor).

Then, from that Ubuntu, I chrooted to my SSD root partition, rename /dev/null and run "apt-get install nvidia-current", shutdown the Live CD.

Finally, I put back my NVIDIA board and boot from SSD. The booted but only thing was that message.

Is there anything I sould do about this message?

P.S. I went to /usr/share/doc/nvidia-settings and the dpkg-tmp file was not there.
