Why did you have the nvidia drivers installed, then? Barring a bug in jockey, these drivers should not have been automatically installed for you.

Steve, this is explained by my apt logs, which indicate that this affects people upgrading from karmic to lucid who have libmyth installed. The latest package versions and dependencies should have removed this problem.

Here's where I get the nvidia driver:

/var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log: Installing nvidia-current as Depends of nvidia-185-libvdpau

These are from karmic
/var/log/dist-upgrade/20091031-0847/apt.log:Installing nvidia-185-libvdpau as dep of libmyth-0.22-0
/var/log/dist-upgrade/20091031-0933/apt.log:Installing nvidia-185-libvdpau as dep of libmyth-0.22-0

This is from karmic-lucid upgrade.
/var/log/dist-upgrade/20100319-0647/apt.log:Installing nvidia-185-libvdpau as dep of libmyth-0.22-0

Currently libmyth is at 0.3-2 and depends on libvdpau1-0.3-2 which replaces nvidia-185-libvdpau, so this shouldn't cause further problems.
