missing xserver-xorg-video-nv

[Mike Ferreira]

xserver-xorg-video-nv is in the repo's thru Natty. Then is not found in the repo's of Oneiric and Precise.

If this package has been replced by another, there is no indication of this at Debian or X.org. On nvidia user's of Onieric and Precise(dev), this throws an error in their Xorg logs that :nv" cannot be found. They tried to install this package to correct that error, but agian not found. On my search through the repo's they would use, not found -and- the trail of that package seemed to have stopped at Natty.

Not a problem for me (personally), but for the users I support in the Ubuntu Installations & Updates Forum
