Upgrade from hardy to Karmic didn't remove lrm-video

[Marco Cimmino]

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

Setting priority to medium as it affects only hardy upgrades (not jaunty ones which will be the majority).

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

Thanks Marco, I fixed this now.

[Marco Cimmino (cimmo)]

You are still copying the type everywhere ;)

I reviewed the package in -proposed, approved. Will accept right after karmic release.

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!
