Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Tobiasz Jarczyk (dotnokato-q)]

I can confirm nvidia-graphics-drivers-173 working in Raring.

[dino99 (9d9)]

That version is no more supported; please open a new bug report if the actual archive found version also has the same issue.

Looks like fixes have been pushed into the archive: no more dupe since a while.
