Comment 79 for bug 741930

Sorry to clog up this thread, but when I did a reinstall of the nvidia-96
driver, I noticed this error message. Does it provide a clue?

Setting up nvidia-96 (96.43.20-0ubuntu1~athome1) ...
update-alternatives: using /usr/lib/nvidia-96/ld.so.conf to provide
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/GL.conf (gl_conf) in auto mode.
update-alternatives: warning: skip creation of
/usr/share/man/man1/nvidia-smi.1.gz because associated file
/usr/share/man/man1/alt-nvidia-96-smi.1.gz (of link group gl_conf) doesn't
exist.
update-alternatives: warning: skip creation of /usr/bin/nvidia-smi because
associated file /usr/lib/nvidia-96/bin/nvidia-smi (of link group gl_conf)
doesn't exist.
