Comment 13 for bug 1376966

The package in -proposed works fine here:

:~$ apt-cache policy ubuntu-drivers-common
ubuntu-drivers-common:
  Installed: 1:0.2.91.8
  Candidate: 1:0.2.91.8
  Version table:
 *** 1:0.2.91.8 0
        400 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-proposed/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1:0.2.91.7 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64 Packages
     1:0.2.91.4 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages

This is the test case:

:~$ echo "blacklist nvidia" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.dpkg-old
blacklist nvidia

And here is the relevant part of the log (it clearly says "Is nvidia blacklisted? no"):

:~$ sudo gpu-manager
