Bug Description
Jockey removes Xorg (on Jaunty)
I've installed the restricted nvidia driver (177) on Ubuntu Jaunty and this caused the removal of the whole xorg package stack!
This is due to nvidia-glx-177 being incompatible with the new Xorg packages.
I think jockey should rather fail to install a driver than remove any (essential) packages.
Manually trying to install nvidia-glx-177 displays this:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
xorg xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-core xserver-
The following packages will be upgraded / installed:
nvidia-glx-177
Ubuntu 9.04 development release
jockey 0.5~beta3-0ubuntu9
