Binary package hint: nvidia-common

Updating nvidia-common to version 0.2.4.2 failed, automatically updated by Update-Manager:

Configuration:
Ubuntu Intrepid (8.10) amd64
I have a ATI Graphic Card, I never installed nvidia drivers... the only nvidia packaged I manually installed is "nvidia-cg-toolkit", but I don't think it is the problem.

Should have said I'm on Ubuntu 8.10. Installed with update-manager.

this affects me when compiling a new kernel using KernelCheck. It is a bit weird, since I have an ATI chipset.

@Ryan
Are you sure that it's the same error?
