Comment 57 for bug 1431753

I enabled proposed and updated.
During the upgrade I got a notification about "broken packages", but the
notification was removed.
After the upgrade System Settings/Software & Updates/Additional Drivers was
set to version 340.76 from nvidia-340-updates. However Nvidia X Server
Settings still said that the 331.113 driver was used.
Changed to version 346.82 from nvidia-346 (proprietary, tested).
The changed went OK and now Nvidia X Server Settings shows that the 346.82
driver is used.
